Re: Prototype material of choice?
We typically make mockups using Knex. We then prototype with a mix of wood and metal. Wood for structural material and metal for the actual mechanisms.
Also we create very simple CAD models of each mechanism we are considering as it gives us some idea of how we want the mechanism work and if its even possible. Once we have a final design we of course build a complete detailed CAD model before we start building the final product.
