Product development for your plastic product

A good design is one thing. But a product that is truly manufacturable, affordable and sustainable in series production? That requires the right technical implementation. And that is precisely where V&V Engineering’s strength lies.

Want to discuss your product idea with our product engineers?

Your product idea, our technical know-how

At V&V Engineering, we are not a design studio. You (or your design agency) provide the basic idea or design for your product, and we turn it into a manufacturable, injection-ready product. Thanks to our many years of experience in product development and mould-making, we know exactly what can go wrong at this stage. And how we can prevent it.

We work with you to optimise:

  • Thickness distribution & reinforcements
  • Draft angles & shrinkage
  • Efficiency in injection moulding & assembly
  • Optimal raw material selection
  • Logistics handling & sustainability

Getting your product ready for injection moulding? 

A single point of contact from idea to production

Because we combine product development, mould-making and injection moulding under one roof, you work with a single dedicated team in Belgium. No intermediaries, no misunderstandings, no wasted time. We speak your language – both literally and technically.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you design the product entirely yourselves?

No, we are not a true design studio. You or your industrial designer provides the basic idea or design, and we handle the technical translation into a product that is truly manufacturable in series production.

What does ‘making it manufacturable’ mean exactly?

We analyse your design for its technical feasibility for injection moulding and optimise it where necessary. This includes aspects like wall thicknesses, draft angles, shrinkage, material choices and assembly options. This way, we prevent errors and delays during production.

Do I need to already have a mould before coming to you?

No, we guide you from product development to mould-making and production. If you already have a design, we will ensure it is made suitable for injection moulding, including the design and construction of the mould.

Do you collaborate with external design agencies?

Yes. We often work in tandem with industrial designers or R&D teams from our clients. We focus on the technical implementation and manufacturability, while the design team manages the aesthetic and conceptual aspects.

Can I come to you even if my design isn’t fully finished yet?

Absolutely. We are happy to get involved and share our expertise with you from an early stage. The earlier we are involved, the better we can help guide the project towards technical and economic optimisation.

How do you ensure my product is sustainable?

We advise on material selection (such as recyclable plastics), limit unnecessary material usage, and design for simple assembly and a long service life. That makes your product more efficient and more environmentally friendly.

How quickly can a product development project be started?

That depends on the complexity, but we can act quickly. Thanks to our in-house approach, we can get started immediately once we have discussed and approved your briefing.

What if my product needs to be modified during the development process?

No problem. We build sufficient flexibility into our approach. Because we handle design, mould-making and production in-house, we can implement changes quickly and efficiently.

How do you guarantee that the final product can be produced flawlessly?

Our experience in injection moulding production and mould-making ensures that we recognise potential pitfalls at an early stage. This allows us to prevent technical errors, production problems and unnecessary costs down the line.

How does the collaboration work in practice?

After an initial consultation, we start with a technical analysis of your product. We make optimisations, design the mould if required, and start the injection moulding production. You work with a single point of contact in Belgium, with no intermediaries.
