What Is Product Design Validation?

INTRODUCTION

Product Design Validation is the process of reviewing a 3D model or technical drawing to confirm that it’s suitable for mass production. Our engineering team evaluates your design for structural feasibility, material compatibility, assembly tolerance, and functional performance before any mold is built.

What We Check During the Review

Our validation process includes a comprehensive technical audit of your design files (STEP, IGES, STL, or 2D drawings), covering:

A gear icon with a checkmark inside, surrounded by circular arrows indicating a cycle or process.

Wall thickness consistency

Icon of a document with lines and a pencil, indicating writing or editing.

Draft angles for mold release

Magnifying glass focusing on a red emergency siren light.

Undercut detection

Black and white emblem featuring a stylized rib cage inside a circled background.

Rib and boss structures

Line graph with a pen, mouse, and paper

Snap-fit and joint design

Material selection compatibility

WHY DESIGN VALIDATION MATTERS

Engineering Review for Manufacturability

Before moving into tooling or production, every design benefits from a second set of expert eyes. Our Product Design Validation capability provides an in-depth engineering review of your submitted design files, helping to identify potential issues, reduce costly revisions, and improve overall manufacturability.

Avoid unnecessary tooling revisions

Increase first-shot success rate in mold trials

Improve part performance and assembly fit

Protect your investment in tooling

Reduce lead time and rework

Launch with greater confidence and fewer risks

With over 30 years of engineering experience, we help teams and businesses at all stages of product development with our design validation capability. Whether you're launching your first plastic component or refining a complex mold for high-volume production, we help ensure your designs are manufacturable, efficient, and risk-free.
