Block models	This refers to models made from model board, MDF, styrofoam or other suitable materials. The material used would be shaped and machined into the form of the designed product, and then sprayed to give a realistic finish. To add to the effect genuine components may be added. This method may be used by designers of electrical products such as kettles or hairdryers in order to test ergonomics or to use as a presentation aid for evaluation.
Full size mock ups	Designers would often make full size mock ups to test ergonomics or the function of prototype components.
