Are you doing something new with a product and aren’t sure how to prove that it will work as expected? Are you experiencing structural issues; or chasing failure from one place to another? Both of these indicate a need to improve your Product Validation Process.
Many small to medium-size manufacturers operate on the build-it/break-it principle but are finding their markets are demanding lighter, more functional, more durable, less expensive products. A faster and more cost-effective approach is to leverage computer simulation tools to do much of the validation digitally and use testing to support the simulation model for up-front loads and downstream validation. In other words, build the physical product confident it will meet performance targets.
Drawing from decades of experience over a range of industries, Six DOF Testing & Analysis can help improve your validation process.
We will meet with your staff to understand your validation process and requirements. We will offer constructive suggestions about how to cost-effectively validate your products with available tools. We’ll train your staff on the use those tools as they work to validate one of your actual products. We’ll support your engineering team to ensure the quality of their work and answer any questions about the validation process on future products.
