Services
Product Design
Our comprehensive product development service combines design engineering with project management to advance your concept from initial sketches to production-ready prototypes. We provide end-to-end solutions that include mechanical design, materials selection, and manufacturing process optimization while implementing risk mitigation strategies through computer simulations and proof-of-concept prototypes. Our engineers apply DFMA principles to create designs that balance performance requirements with cost-effective manufacturing considerations.
Mechanical Engineering
We deliver specialized mechanical engineering services covering structural analysis, thermal management, and dynamic system evaluation. Our team performs finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics, and multi-body dynamics simulations to validate designs before physical prototyping. This approach identifies potential issues early in development while optimizing mechanical performance through iterative analysis that considers manufacturing constraints and operational requirements across various load conditions.
Computer Aided Design
Our CAD services include creating detailed parametric models, engineering drawings, and photorealistic renderings using SolidWorks and Fusion 360. We specialize in complex surfacing for consumer products and maintain industry-standard GD&T practices in technical documentation. Our models support downstream processes like simulation analysis and CNC programming while ensuring proper data exchange through standard formats including STEP, IGES, and DWG for seamless collaboration with external manufacturing partners.
Finite Element Analysis
We perform comprehensive FEA services to evaluate structural integrity, thermal performance, and vibration characteristics of mechanical components. Our simulations identify stress concentrations, predict failure modes, and optimize material usage while considering real-world loading conditions. Using Altair HyperWorks, we conduct linear-static analyses and advanced non-linear studies involving contact mechanics and material plasticity to ensure designs meet specified safety factors and performance requirements under operational environments.
Prototype Manufacturing
Our in-house prototyping capabilities include CNC machining, 3D printing, welding, and assembly operations. We produce functional prototypes for design validation testing using SLA 3D printing with engineering-grade resins and precision machining of metal/aluminum components. This integrated approach enables rapid design iteration cycles while maintaining tight tolerances and material properties that closely match final production requirements, reducing time-to-market through immediate physical verification of virtual models.
