Comprehensive design services spanning the entire product lifecycle—from initial concept to production tooling. Leveraging deep proficiency in SolidWorks and major CAD platforms, our approach ensures that every model is built not just for aesthetics, but for functional reality and manufacturing feasibility.
Successful product development requires more than complex geometry; it requires strict adherence to material science. We integrate material-specific manufacturing rules early in the design phase to prevent costly downstream revisions. By identifying the limitations and capabilities of the chosen material upfront, we ensure designs are optimized for molding and machining before the first prototype is cut.
Tooling is the bridge between a digital design and a physical product. Whether developing new tooling concepts, evaluating existing assets, or executing complete mold designs, we provide technical leadership that balances engineering principles with practical shop-floor realities. Our expertise covers the full spectrum of tooling strategies, ensuring assets are robust, scalable, and cost-effective.
Bridging the gap between design intent and production capability is often the most critical phase of a project. Many manufacturers decline design responsibility to avoid liability, leaving a dangerous gap in the process. We step in to perform rigorous DFM analysis, ensuring that parts are optimized for the specific manufacturing process involved. This proactive approach accelerates time-to-market and preserves supplier relationships by delivering "production-ready" designs.
A "certified" supplier is not always a "qualified" supplier. We move beyond standard audits to perform deep-dive technical evaluations of vendor capabilities. By assessing a supplier’s true operational fit before contracts are signed, we mitigate the risk of quality failures and schedule delays, ensuring the supply chain is robust enough to meet specific program requirements. After dealing with hundreds of suppliers/manufacturers I've learned that even though they may be "certified" it doesn't mean they are "qualified" to make your product. Most companies don't find out they weren't a good fit to after a lot of time and money is spent. At that point its too late.
Full-cycle validation services for high-compliance industries. From automotive PPAP to medical device IQ, OQ, and PQ, we manage the entire validation stream. This includes designing the parts, authoring the protocols, overseeing fabrication, executing metrology, and finalizing the compliance documentation. This holistic ownership ensures that validation is not just a paperwork exercise, but a proof of process stability.
Simulation is only as valuable as the inputs provided. Without a deep understanding of the machinery, facility constraints, and processing variables, even high-end simulations yield inaccurate results. We combine theoretical simulation with practical processing knowledge to navigate the nuances of science and reality. This grounded approach ensures that flow analysis predicts actual outcomes, saving significant capital on trial-and-error tooling modifications.
Off-the-shelf software rarely fits the unique constraints of a specialized manufacturing environment. We develop lightweight, purpose-built applications to bridge the gap between IT and OT (Operational Technology).
