Prototype Testing

During the prototype testing phase, we used several methods for rapid prototyping, including cardboard cut outs, plastic sheet cutouts, and 3D printing. The testing of the guitar pick consisted of verifying the easy installation of guitar pick, and intuitive removal. Finally some of the guitar picks were played by musicians and evaluated for comfort.
