Prototyping Quotes

“Once achieved, maintaining relevance requires constant listening, questioning, prototyping and testing.”
― Roger Spitz, Disrupt With Impact: Achieve Business Success in an Unpredictable World

“It isn't enough to pick a path—you must go down it. By doing so, you see things you couldn't possibly see when you started out; you may not like what you see, some of it may be confusing, but at least you will have, as we like to say, "explored the neighborhood." The key point here is that even if you decide you're in the wrong place, there is still time to head toward the right place.”
― Ed Catmull, Creativity, Inc.: Overcoming the Unseen Forces That Stand in the Way of True Inspiration

“If a picture is worth a thousand words, a prototype is worth a thousand meetings”
― IDEO.org

“If you understand McCarthy's eval, you understand more than just a stage in the history of languages. These ideas are still the semantic core of Lisp today. So studying McCarthy's original paper shows us, in a sense, what Lisp really is. It's not something that McCarthy designed so much as something he discovered. It's not intrinsically a language for AI or for rapid prototyping, or any other task at that level. It's what you get (or one thing you get) when you try to axiomatize computation.”
― Paul Graham

“People don't use a product because of the great design; great design helps them use the product.”
― Viran Dayaratne

“What is Binder Jetting in 3D Printing

The binder jetting 3D printing process involves depositing an adhesive binder onto thin layers of powdered material. These materials can be ceramic-based, like glass or gypsum, or metal, such as stainless steel.

During the printing process, the 3D print head moves over the build platform, depositing droplets of binder, similar to how a 2D printer applies ink to paper. Once a layer is completed, the powder bed lowers, and a new layer of powder is spread over the build area. This layering continues until the entire object is printed.

After printing, the parts are in an unfinished, or "green," state and require further post-processing. To enhance the mechanical properties of the parts, an infiltrate substance, such as cyanoacrylate adhesive for ceramics or bronze for metals, is often added. Another method involves placing the green parts in an oven to sinter the material grains together.

Interestingly, the term "3D printing" originally described a process that used inkjet-like heads to deposit binder material onto a powder bed layer by layer.”
