New Product Development Virtual Prototyping

Computer aided styling or CAS helps to generate variations on design directions, accelerating the design process. Elaboration of the mathematical model gives a complete characterization of the form, material and color of the component in development. In a virtual environment, this will simulate the actual system which can be converted to a real time product.

By using the extraordinary communicative power of the immense virtual reality environment, it is possible to predict requirements and meet targets.

The virtual prototype is capable of substituting the physical prototype in many verification and experimental activities.

The advantage of the methodology

• Improvement in the communication efficiency of the project
• Possibility of anticipating the evaluation of the impact that the product will have on the market
• Reduction in the number of project feed-backs
• Elimination or reduction in the number of physical prototypes used for the quality certification
• Reduction of time, cost and operative resources
