Is Reverse Engineering an act of simply copying another design or is it a tool to be used as a cost-cutting means to document legacy designs?
"Reverse engineering" is not really a bad word; it's been a part of design and manufacturing for centuries. Certainly, there are those that have used 3-D scanning to “pilfer” someone else’s product design. |

Promoted as the "in" word in design circles in recent years, 'innovation' has become a mantra devoid of meaning. Glorified by the likes of Bruce Nussbaum of BusinessWeek and David Kelly of IDEO, "innovation" blurs the boundaries between the worlds of engineering and design. It devalues the real strength of industrial design by forcing an analytical structure over the process of developing a non-analytical design. Similarly, it makes engineering play design, while over-selling its value in defining the "right design". |

While Plopp has the appearance of a stool, it also has the appearance of a stool that can't support more than five pounds of weight! But it's not made like a child's vinyl swimming tube; it's not even made of vinyl! It's all steel, very supportive, and its engineering is similar to that used in automobile manufacturing!
