Automotive prototyping involves creating preliminary versions of vehicles or components to test and refine designs before mass production. This process includes concept development, physical and functional prototyping, and rigorous testing for performance, safety, and reliability. By identifying and resolving issues early, automotive prototyping ensures cost efficiency, innovation, and market readiness, ultimately leading to high-quality, reliable, and compliant final products.
