Do you want to 3D print it?

Or is this about designing a pattern that you then upload to an online printing service.

I want to design a physical wallet case on an interactive platform so that I can present my design to a manufacturer but I'm not sure 3D printing is an option for my design.

It depends on what you mean by "prototype". Is your idea for the design of the physical case, or for colors/graphics/images to be applied to a pre-existing case?

[lndsyrh2]

To design the physical case.

That's an engineering project. Outside the scope of Adobe's projects. A CAD app seems a possibility. However... that's really a job for the manufacturer, not a prototype designer. You could use Illustrator to give sketches/impressions/ideas without 0.1mm accuracy etc.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction!
