Design Validation Design validation in 3D printing refers to the process of testing and evaluating a printed prototype against its intended functionality, appearance, or fit. This step ensures that the design meets performance requirements and is ready for production. Validation often involves stress testing, dimensional accuracy checks, and aesthetic evaluation. 3D printing accelerates this process by allowing rapid iteration and adjustments based on feedback. Design validation is widely used in industries like aerospace, automotive, and consumer goods, where precision and functionality are critical. It ensures that the final product will perform as intended before committing to mass production. |
