I met Chris Hawker briefly in Spring 2010 at the Chicago Housewares show.
I read his recent article on InventorSpot and and am posting this for others to read, it is a very succinct and well written. He covers the different types of prototypes involved in bringing a product to market... Very good article for anyone working on any new invention and covers the terminology and definition (with pictures) of each prototyping stage...
