Prototyping in the automotive industry

Prototypes in the automotive industry play a crucial role in the development process of new vehicles. These prototypes are used to test and evaluate different aspects of a vehicle before it goes into large-scale production. Therefore, it is important that the tests of the prototypes give a true picture, e.g. in a crash test.

The market is constantly evolving and projects must adapt to changing timeframes and expectations. The automotive industry is constantly evolving, which is why you need an agile prototype partner to test them quickly.
