Custom Design Process
We are focused on providing custom solutions for our clients, and that starts with our design process.
We take our ISO 9001:2015 and AS 9100:2016 certifications very seriously, and integrate these processes into everything we design and manufacture. Our on-staff design engineers utilize development processes capable of handling a range of activities from contract manufacturing all the way to complex “white paper” subsystem design and qualification. If you already have the parts designed, we can complete a design for manufacturability analysis of your specifications and requirements utilizing our processes.
We use the following categories of programs and processes to design the best solution for your application:
Design
- System modeling & CAD design
- In-house mold design, fixture design
Manufacturing Process
- CAM (computer aided manufacturing) development
- Value add processes
- From Design to Manufacture Process
- Process Development
Quality
- ISO certified change control
- SPC (statistical process control) data
- Process verification
