Specializations include design analysis and qualification of of non-ferrous material elements for both aerospace and industry applications. Materials can be qualified using requested published standards, or per customer specific requirements. Materials that are typically requested for analysis are exotic coatings for hostile environments, as well as polyurethane, plyamide, teflon, and polyethylene. Materials can also be [...]
Product Testing
Specialization include laboratory product performance testing. Product performance testing can be used for regulatory or industry compliance, or for conformance to the customer’s requirements. Custom test procedure can be prepared, if necessary. Revisions, such as product performance and cost reduction, which may result from product testing, are typically presented to the customer for approval.
Machine Design
Specializations include product design in preparation for prototype and production development. Design analysis can be accomplished by revision of an exisitng design, or by drawing development and preparation of a prototype model. Computer aided design modeling, three dimension finite element modeling, and computer aided manufacturing is also available. Specializations in manufacturing processes are plastic injection, [...]
Product Failure
Specializations include mechanical or structural failure analysis. Product failure includes testing and investigation analysis for compliance with industry and regulatory standards, if applicable. A custom test request and test procedure can be prepared if necessary. Suggestive revisions to the product are typically presented to the customer for approval to avoid failure and liability.
