La conception et le développement des applications se font en utilisant des méthodes que nous classerons en trois catégories : les méthodes descendantes [...], les méthodes ascendantes [et] le maquettage, ou prototypage («prototyping»), qui consiste à développer successivement des maquettes de plus en plus élaborées, chaque étape étant validée par l'utilisateur, ce qui permet de construire un outil correspondant généralement mieux aux besoins. 2, record 1, French, - prototypage

Con el desarrollo de prototipos [...] los analistas junto con los usuarios, pueden formular y desarrollar un sistema nuevo. Pueden crearse bases de datos que son manipuladas en el terminal mientras que el usuario va supervisando el progreso que se hace. Una vez que el usuario ve algo tangible en la pantalla o en el papel, es mucho más fácil comprender qué es lo que falta y cuál debe ser el próximo paso a seguir. 3, record 1, Spanish, - prototipado

Sous le terme «prototypage rapide» se cachent différents procédés restituant physiquement un objet 3D à partir d'un plan transcrit dans un fichier de CAO [conception assistée par ordinateur]. Les différentes techniques de prototypage rapide permettent l'obtention, dans des délais très courts, de modèles qui autoriseront la validation de la conception d'un point de vue esthétique, géométrique, fonctionnel ou technologique. 3, record 4, French, - prototypage%20rapide

El prototipado rápido es una tecnología que posibilita producir modelos y prototipos directamente a partir del modelo sólido 3D generado en el sistema de CAD [diseño ayudado por computadora]. Al contrario de los procesos de fabricación que sacan material de la pieza en bruto para obtener el modelo deseado, los sistemas de prototipado rápido generan la pieza a partir de la unión aditiva de líquidos, capa por capa, a partir de secciones transversales de la pieza obtenidas a partir del modelo 3D. Las máquinas de prototipado rápido producen piezas en plástico, madera, cerámica o metal. 1, record 4, Spanish, - prototipado%20r%C3%A1pido
