DMU future points to the "virtual fabric": a flexible, integrated digital environment of product management. The "virtual fabric" will maintain the product models as well as the necessary management procedures and protocols, starting from the very first draft sketch, streching to product's recycling, requiring the absolute minimum development of physical prototypes along the way.

In the near future, the degree of integration of DMU technologies in the business model of innovative companies will become their competitive advantage and play a major role for their viability and financial prosperity.
