Pre-production validation of the conceptual design
is paramount in reducing the overall risk of the
program.
Further, material durability can be optimized by selecting polymer formulations with a high resistance
to environmental factors such as UV light, chemicals including salt water, acids and plasticizers,
temperature extremes from boiling, autoclaving and automatic dishwashing, and unintended storage
stresses like exposure to heat in a car trunk.
