Digital Prototyping

Digital prototype - a digital model of the product that is used to test its functions and form. Digital prototype becomes more perfect when designers and engineers integrate all the conceptual, mechanical and electrical design data.
What is a digital prototype?

Complexity of transition from conceptual model to the design documentation
Dissociation of systems and digital documentation formats for different parts of the structure
Separation of process of designing from manufacture process
The high cost of testing prototypes
What problems are solved
by technology?

Reducing the time and the transition from idea to serial production.
Reducing the cost of production of prototypes and testing.
Acceleration of the innovation process.

Quote
According to recent studies, manufacturers that use digital prototypes constructed for 50% less physical prototypes than their competitors, products entered the market 58 days earlier, cost of the prototype was reduced by 48% and they free up time and resources for innovation.
