A digital mockup (or digital mock-up) is the digital description of a product, usually in three dimensions. The product design engineers, the manufacturing engineers, and the support engineers work together to create and manage the mock-up. As an extension it is also frequently referred to as digital prototyping or virtual prototyping. Digital mock-ups allows engineers to design and configure complex product prototypes and validate their designs without ever needing to build a physical model.[1]

Mockups can be convincing and closely resemble the final product in appearance,[2] allowing early revisions rather than changes much later in the production stage.

Types of Mockups

[3] Static Mockups: These types of mockups are just images, and you cannot interact with them

Interactive Mockups: These mockups can be clicked through and are interactive, and can show how a user would interact with a product
