Nowadays, there is no physical product design or innovation without a CAD system: it enables accurate digital representation of the
Prototyping
Prototyping is the iterative process of creating preliminary models or representations of a product to test and validate design concepts, functionalities, and user interactions. This phase allows designers and engineers to explore ideas, gather feedback, and make informed adjustments before finalizing the product for production. By employing various prototyping methods—ranging from low-fidelity sketches to high-fidelity digital simulations—teams can effectively communicate their vision and enhance the overall user experience.
Reverse Engineering for Product Design
Whether in mechanics, software or hardware, reverse engineering enables detailed analysis of system architecture and functionality. It supports interoperability by
