*Product Design Engineering: With a strong background in manufacturing materials and processes, we are experts at matching your anticipated sales volumes, product costs and tooling budgets with the proper process to produce a marketable product. Capable of producing detailed engineering documents and specifications that take advantage of the appropriate process we can assure you get a product that is cost effective, elegantly styled and highly functional. With extensive experience designing parts for a wide range of processes including injection molded plastics, die cast metals, stampings, 4-slide, profile extrusion, sand and investment casting, deep drawing, spinning, glass pressing/molding, transfer/compression molding to name a few, and with 20+ years of CAD and engineering documentation experience, we can document and execute the design effectively.

*Prototype Fabrication: With an in house prototype work shop and extensive model making experience, we can create models to evaluated your future product prior to investment in production tooling and inventory. From simple visual models to fully functional working prototypes utilizing the state of the art in rapid prototyping technologies we can fit the appropriate level and technology to your project.

*Manufacturing integration of client concepts at any level: Whether you’ve got a sketch on a napkin of a clever idea or a well-refined product design we can help you take it to the next level. We’ve worked from the “Blue Sky” level to taking existing products and enhancing or correcting problems with them. We specialize in working with small entrepreneurial start-ups and manufacturers without the in-house resources to quickly and effectively develop new products, yet have also worked for multi-billion dollar industry leaders. With an extensive network of engineering, model making, design, and technical experts we can handle projects from very small to very large.

*Value Engineering of existing products: We can take an existing product and make it more cost effective, add functionality, reduce quality problems, give it a “Face-lift” etc. We have been given projects initially done by other design firms that have failed to pass Safety Listing Agency tests or meet performance requirements and successfully finished them.

*Presentation Graphics, Images, and CG animations:  We can provide high quality illustrations, renderings, and animations to communicate, promote or explain any type of design, idea or process. We can take architectural or interior designs and do high quality animated fly-throughs, photo-realistic renderings for client meetings, trade shows, or other marketing and advertising needs. If you’re tying to pitch an idea to potential investors or clients, make a visual statement at trade shows or you have a great product and are tying to do some visual promotion we can provide the imagery.

*Product testing/agency submittals and compliance: With decades of experience designing products to meet stringent safety criteria we can help you obtain these listings with an existing product or with a new design. Extensive knowledge of UL, NEC, NFPA, CSA, VDE, and IEC standards assure your product is designed from the start to meet stringent criteria required to obtain regulatory listing agency listings without extensive re-design or re-testing required.

*Product Life-cycle Management and Information Systems Integration: We can implement state of the art technologies in Information Technology and Web Based Collaboration to share product and engineering information throughout your enterprise, enabling collaboration between your in house sales/marketing staff, customers, suppliers, and engineering personnel. Making your design data available, secure and up to date can have a profound impact on your company’s success. With global markets, manufacturing, and competition it is critical to assure the right information gets to the right people as fast and reliably as possible.
