Choosing a Manufacturing Career

2 Reasons To Hire A Dimensional Inspection Service To Test A New Product Before Production

If you are responsible for coming up with new products for your factory, you may have had an idea. You may have already drawn up the design plans for the product and are eager to get it into production.

However, before you start mass-producing the new product, you want to make sure that what you have on paper will translate well into a real item. For this part of the process, consider the reasons you should hire a dimensional inspection service to test the prototype before your factory starts manufacturing it.

1. Ensures the Projected Materials and Processing Will Yield the Size and Quality You Desire

One reason you should hire a service to perform a dimensional inspection on your product's prototype is that it ensures that it will come out the way that you desire. While you may have already devised what materials and manufacturing process should be used, you need to make sure that the real product will yield the desired size and quality.

Once the prototype is made, the inspector will use laser imaging to make sure that there are no flaws in the product. They can also check to make sure that the dimensions are precisely what the design demands so that you can make adjustments if needed.

2. Tests the Product under Temperature, Pressure, and Manual Stressors Before Manufacturing 

Another reason why you should have your product prototype inspected is that doing so tests the product for certain stressors it will be subjected to during manufacturing. The processes that you have laid on in your design probably have specific temperatures, pressure settings, and other manual stressors the product will be under.

Once the prototype goes through the manufacturing process and is exposed to these stressors, the inspector can check for any catastrophic failures. If something is found, you can then adjust one or more of the settings until the prototype comes out exactly the way you want without any flaws or structural failures.

After designing a new product that you want to manufacture at your factory, you want to make sure that what you have on paper will translate well during processing. Subjecting a prototype to dimensional inspection can help you determine whether the materials will yield the product you desire. It will also subject it to stressors to make sure it can stand up to the manufacturing process without suffering catastrophic failure.
