A design is only truly good when it proves itself in practice. In engineering, everything revolves around reliability — and that’s achieved not through assumptions, but through testing. At Vormelijk Engineering, we don’t see testing as the final step of a project, but as an integral part of the design process.
1) Prototyping as a learning tool
A prototype is more than a ‘first version’ — it’s a source of insight. By building and testing prototypes, we discover early where tolerances are too tight, components don’t align properly, or assembly steps are too complex.
2) Finding mistakes early saves a lot
The earlier an issue is identified, the cheaper it is to fix. By validating design choices through physical or digital mock-ups, we prevent problems from surfacing only during production or assembly.
3) Testing as communication
A test makes abstract data tangible. Suppliers, customers, and assemblers can directly see and experience what works. It builds understanding and supports clear decisions — without endless discussions about theoretical details.
4) Iterative improvement
We document every test result and feed the findings directly back into the design. This way, the product grows with each iteration — reducing risk and increasing confidence in the next phase.
Testing isn’t a delay — it’s an accelerator. It prevents errors from piling up, and that’s where real technical quality begins.
