How does digital fabrication help in reducing the time required for product development?

Digital fabrication allows for rapid prototyping and iteration, reducing the time required for product development by allowing designers and engineers to quickly create and test multiple versions of a product. This helps them to identify and fix any design issues, and make improvements to the product before moving into the production stage. Additionally, digital fabrication tools such as 3D printing, laser cutting and CNC machining allow for accurate and precise manufacturing, eliminating the need for manual work and saving time. This results in faster and more efficient product development, allowing companies to bring products to market much more quickly than traditional manufacturing methods.
