We help you validate product designs before full-scale production through proof of concept, engineering reviews, prototyping, and functional testing.
Product Design Validation
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:
Wall thickness consistency
Draft angles for mold release
Undercut detection
Rib and boss structures
Snap-fit and joint design
Material selection compatibility
Tolerance and fit between parts
Aesthetic surface requirements
Assembly considerations

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.
Who Benefits from This Service
Private label brands developing new products
Startups and small businesses entering plastic manufacturing for the first time
OEMs and design teams needing a second opinion before finalizing molds
Clients using export tools who want to avoid costly international revisions
