What is a prototype builder?

Prototype builders are professionals who create early models or samples of products, devices, or systems to test and refine concepts before full-scale production. They work closely with engineers, designers, and product developers to turn ideas into tangible prototypes using various materials and fabrication methods. Their work helps identify design flaws, functionality issues, and areas for improvement, making the product development process more efficient. Prototype builders often use tools such as 3D printers, CNC machines, and hand tools to construct prototypes according to detailed specifications.
