Research & Development

We offer mechanical engineering, research, design, and prototyping services to help you turn your early-stage ideas into proofs-of-concepts, validated technologies, and prototypes for further development and manufacturing.

Computer Aided Design

Mechanical system design and modeling using parametric CAD software for the development of parts and prototypes.

Embedded Hardware

PCB and microcontroller firmware development using EDA and IDE software to develop proof of concept embedded hardware.

Rapid Prototyping

Rapid prototyping using FDM 3D Printing in PLA, PETG, and TPU up to 256 x 256 x 256 mm³ (10 x 10 x 10 in³) volume.

Finite Element Analysis

Structural, thermal, and vibration analysis of parts and prototypes using FEA software for mechanical system design optimization.

Reverse Engineering

Reverse engineering of mechanical systems using digital caliper measurements, image analysis, and 3D scanning technologies to develop digital models of existing parts and components.

Tests & Experiments

Develop tests, experiments, and fixtures to simulate real-world conditions, collect data, and analyze product performance for system design optimization.
