Product Engineering

Engineers are called upon to design and deliver products. They ideate, design, build and test their concepts within industry standards and program goals. We produce concepts, mechanisms, and prototypes for medical, robotics, life science, and consumer industries. Tasks include concept creation, mechanism design, electronics packaging, engineering analysis, prototyping, testing, design for manufacturing, and production support.

  • In House Industrial Design, UX Design, & UI Design Team


Engineering Analysis

Engineering analysis is a systematic approach to evaluating the performance, reliability, and safety of existing products or designs. By employing various techniques and tools, engineers can uncover a multitude of problems and shortcomings in these products. Here's how engineering analysis can reveal issues in existing products or designs:

  • Finite Element Analysis​

  • Structural Analysis​

  • Thermal Analysis​

  • CFD Analysis​

  • Mold Flow Analysis​

  • Kinematic Analysis​

  • Tolerance Analysis​

  • Engineering Analysis & Hand Calculations​

  • Cost Analysis
