The new digital vision typical of industry 4.0 offers the automotive sector new and advanced operational tools, functional to the best product/process system also for the prototype sector in the prototyping phase. Specifically, through a strong characterization on the use of new technologies, the "governance" of the processes linked to the creative phase of Concept Design will be increasingly manageable, where the flows of technical and stylistic information converge in the first physical identification of a new product. This operation is generally implemented through the creation of prototypes on a small scale, where the need to create new operational spaces is still governed by the ability of both the prototype maker and the performance of the hardwa... view moreĀ»
