# Enhancing Complex Injection Mold Design Validation Using Multicombined RV Environments
## 4 Conclusions  
This paper introduces an innovative multimodal virtual environment designed specifically for validating mold design complexities, integrating interactive 3D models and dynamic visualizations to facilitate exploration of detailed mold designs. This research represents a significant advancement beyond current practices, aiming to address existing gaps by evaluating multidimensional CAD-virtual validation methods against traditional CAD systems. Through the utilization of animated VR representations, the study significantly enhances the comprehension and validation of mold functionality, ultimately streamlining various processes involved. Furthermore, the research underscores the disparities, parallels, and advantages and drawbacks between traditional techniques and VR applications in injection mold design. This comprehensive analysis provides valuable insights into the potential of VR technology to revolutionize mold validation processes and reshape the landscape of industrial design practices. The survey findings reveal that dimensional errors are effectively identified using VR technology, with 86.37% of respondents providing positive evaluations of its application. Similarly, functional errors, such as inadequate layouts, are efficiently detected with VR, garnering positive feedback from 59.09% of participants. Mold experts place high value on VR technology for comprehending design functionality (50%), validating assembly and disassembly tasks (77.27%), and facilitating the learning process (72.73%). Statistical analyses, including the Wilcoxon test, uncover significant differences in interference detection, topology tracking, and validation of assembly and disassembly accessibility between traditional CAD and VR methods. These results underscore VR's potential to enhance mold design validation processes, with a relative frequency analysis demonstrating efficiency \begin{table}
