Functional Appearance Prototype
A functional appearance model is a prototype that 'looks like' and 'works like' a production product. Though made from prototype materials, these models simulate actual finishes and colors as well as mechanisms.
Functional appearance models are often used for trade shows and focus groups. Slingshot's modelmaking staff have created functional appearance models for products in a number of industries.
