Services

Conception

We communicate clearly to understand your problems, identify areas for improvement, and offer a vision for a comprehensive solution.

Design

We design a solution that meets all of your requirements. Typically these includes cost, lead time, ease-of-use, durability, safety, and effectiveness. We use CAD software to create fully-documented and interactive 3D models.

Drafting

Whether you need a fully-detailed drawing package or only care about the final product, our experience interfacing with manufacturers ensures a seamless transition from paper to product.

Prototyping

We prototype at multiple stages of the design process to ensure that as a concept matures it will meet or exceed the original design specifications.

Testing

The proof is in the pudding! We test and document all of our products to ensure that the end result meets the customer’s need as expressed and updated through the design process. 

Analysis

We integrate analysis into our design process to optimize performance and efficiency.  Our analysis competencies include:

Structures including:

  • Mechanisms
  • Frames
Environments including:
  • Forces and pressures 
  • Shock, impact, and vibration
Failure modes including:
  • Stress, strain, and deflection
  • Linear and nonlinear stability
  • Fatigue and fracture
  • Creep and viscoelasticity
  • Corrosion
  • Leakage

Materials including:

  • Nonlinear metals and plastics
  • Elastomers and hyperelastics
  • Traditional building materials
