Progressive Technologies, moves into a new sector in 3D, virtual prototyping ...
By creating virtual prototypes with Progressive Technologies, prototyping specialists, engineers and marketing teams work closely together to proactively deliver market trends and fulfill customer expectations.
Virtual prototypes are one of the three main types of prototypes that new product development teams use to refine their ideas into finished objects.
The simplest kind of prototype, the sketch, is used mainly during initial concept stages of design. Virtual prototypes and physical models are generally produced once a design is close enough to present to people outside of the immediate product development teams.
In many modern product development processes, physical models and virtual prototypes are produced from the same 3D computerized model of the design.
Current technology demands that most product design is performed on the computer, in 3D software . Designers often move to the computer following a short period of brainstorming, concept definition, and loose sketching.
The simplest type of computerized prototype to produce is a 3D rendering of the object.
The designs can also be animated, allowing designers to create motion videos of the project in any environment necessary. Some software allows fully- rendered product designs to be controllable in real-time, so that clients and project managers can manipulate the product in virtual space, exploring it as they would a physical model.
