High-fidelity prototypes appear and function as similar as possible to the actual product that will ship. Teams usually create high-fidelity prototypes when they have a solid understanding of what they are going to build. They need to either test it with real customers or get final design approval from stakeholders.

Step-by step guide
Understand what a high fidelity prototype is
High fidelity prototypes look much closer to end result. Examples include a high-fidelity digital app prototype that feels like the final product. They’re more engaging for the customers, don’t require as much explanation and give a good idea of how the customer will react to the final solution. The downsides are that they take longer to produce, can encourage the customers to focus on superficial elements e.g. the colour and it takes longer to make changes.
Is a high-fidelity prototype right for you?
Yes, if you:
Are further on in the initiative and already tested low-fidelity prototypes with customers
Have received customer feedback and iterated you designs
Looking to narrow in on a smaller set of concepts
Build the prototype
Design tools for prototyping There’s a variety of tools that you can use to create high-fidelity screens such as Figma, Adobe XD, Sketch and Invision. You’ll probably need a trained designer to create these prototypes.
3D printing For physical items 3D printing has become far more affordable recently but would require someone with right skills to build the model and a manufacturer.
