Digital prototyping gives engineers and manufacturers the ability to virtually design, build, and explore a 3D product before its built.
These 3D models are created using specialized software, known as computer-aided design or CAD.
CAD technology has become so advanced, designers and engineers can animate or view hyper-realistic renderings of models before they are manufactured as a physical object.
Using animation or digital twin tools for 3D digital prototypes helps designers determine the operation of moving parts or if the 3D printed product will fail.
