Capabilities

Integrated Product Design

Service website

Multi-discipline product development spanning industrial design, systems engineering, electronics, mechanical, and software. Schedule, cost, and manufacturability are built into the design cycle from concept through production-ready detail design.

  • Industrial Design

    Human factors and ergonomics, UX/UI, artist renderings, concept and styling, mockups, and design studies.

  • Systems Engineering

    Requirement definition, system architecture and partitioning, risk management, integration, and verification and validation.

  • Electronics Engineering

    Analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuit design; power electronics; RF electronics; motor control; electronics packaging design; and high-speed mixed-signal board design.

  • Mechanical Engineering

    Electronics packaging, thermal design, mechanisms and power transfer, optics, materials and finishes, and CAD design.

  • Software and Firmware

    Embedded firmware, FPGA and embedded processing, GUI development, motor control software, and iOS/Android application development.

  • Technology Development

    R&D, simulation, and experimentation to mature new technologies prior to design integration.

Manufacturing Engineering

Service website

Tooling and fixture design, manufacturer sourcing, and test-set development paired with hands-on prototype builds - from 3D printing and CNC machining through MIG/TIG welding and sheet metal - leading into pilot manufacturing and production launch.

  • Tooling and Fixtures

    Custom tooling, fixture fabrication, and test sets to support repeatable manufacturing processes.

  • Prototyping

    Mockups, fully functional prototypes, and production-quality prototypes using 3D printing (SLA/FDM), CNC machining, laser cutting, lathe work, MIG/TIG welding, and sheet metal.

  • Transition to Production

    Manufacturer and component sourcing, tooling and first-piece verification, inspection and vendor qualification, fixtures and automation, and pilot manufacturing runs.

  • Testing and Validation

    Product validation, qualification testing, and certification support.
