Prototyping + Testing

We put it to the test.

Utilizing our gated New Product Introduction (NPI) process, our engineering teams will:

  • Work collaboratively with you to help develop your product specification
  • Create a 3D concept product design to meet your unique specifications
  • Analyze the product concept using FEA, DFMEA/PFMEA, and other analytical tools
  • Create a prototype and conduct testing in our state-of-the-art product development lab to verify the design
  • Manage the supply chain and manufacturing process to ensure low-cost, unparalleled quality and on-time delivery
