Product prototyping and validation

We help you validate the design, functionality, and technical feasibility of your product before manufacturing the mold and starting production, reducing risks and unnecessary costs.

Common problems before manufacturing a mold

Without prior product validation, it is common to discover design, functionality, or technical feasibility problems when the mold is already manufactured or production has begun.

Designs that are not viable for injection molding

An apparently correct design may present demolding problems, inadequate thicknesses, or geometries that hinder the manufacture of the mold.

Errors detected too late

Without functional prototypes, problems usually appear when the mold is already manufactured, generating cost overruns and delays.

Investment in molds without prior validation

Manufacturing a mold without validating the product implies assuming technical risks that could have been detected in early stages.

Product prototyping and validation with a technical approach

Prototyping allows validating the product in early stages, detecting design errors, and confirming its technical feasibility before manufacturing the mold.

Our prototyping approach is not limited to manufacturing a sample, but to analyzing the design, functionality, and behavior of the product in real or simulated conditions of use, perfectly integrating with our work process in injection mold projects, to make informed technical decisions, optimize the design of the part, and reduce risks before moving towards mold manufacturing and mass production.

Design validation prototypes

Prototypes aimed at verifying geometries, thicknesses, and key aspects of the design before moving towards later stages.

Functional prototypes

Tests to validate the functional behavior of the product, its intended use, and its interaction with other components.

Technical validation before manufacturing the mold

Technical analysis of the product to confirm its manufacturing feasibility, detect risks, and optimize the design before investing in the mold.

Technical support in the transition to production

Technical support to transfer the conclusions of the prototyping to the manufacture of the mold and to the production phase.

Product prototyping and validation before manufacturing the mold

Prototyping is especially recommended when the product presents complex geometries, demanding functional requirements, or when it is a new development without production history. Validating the design in early stages allows detecting errors that are not always evident in the plan or in the 3D model.

The realization of prototypes helps to evaluate the real behavior of the part, its functionality, the assembly with other components, and possible design improvements before moving towards the manufacture of the mold. This prior analysis is key to avoid later modifications of the mold, which are usually costly and difficult to implement.

In addition, prototyping allows making technical decisions with greater certainty, optimizing the design of the part, and reducing risks before making a significant investment in production tools, which facilitates the transition towards injection mold engineering to define the most appropriate mold solution.

Advantages of validating the product before manufacturing the mold

Prototyping allows detecting errors and making technical decisions in early stages, reducing risks and optimizing the investment before manufacturing the mold.

Reduction of technical risks

Validating the product before the mold allows identifying design, functionality, or manufacturing problems when it is still easy to correct them.

Cost savings before investing in molds

Detecting errors in early stages avoids cost overruns derived from modifications of the mold or later reprocessing.

Better technical decision making

The results of the prototyping provide objective data to decide how to advance in the design and in the manufacture.

Safe transition to production

A validated product facilitates the passage to the manufacture of the mold and reduces incidents during the start-up of production.

Do you want to validate your product before investing in the mold?

We analyze your design and help you validate its technical and functional feasibility to reduce risks before moving towards mold manufacturing and production. This product prototyping and validation process allows making technical decisions with greater certainty before investing in the definitive mold.
