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