Performance material design, engineering and fabrication
We measure true material cost and value to the application for a better total system.
Absorbing energy - upwards of 13,350 -lbf at 3,000 ft/s - equivalent to a project deadline or owners requirement
Support energy - material density / strength / weight / cost / comfort / appearance to reassuring those in question how the solution was realized
Evoking energy - tuning electronics, eliminating distortion, implementing combinations to aligning a diverse methodology for all to run towards or in a similar directionView more details...
Manufacturing - we build with and where it makes sense for all aspects of a product's lifecycle
The acceleration of supply chain disruptions is awesome. We take total system energy into account before we make anything
Whether its a 4000 watt fiber laser or a vintage Singer we apply diverse skill set to every projectView more details...

Groups we have helped
We live by a simple and straightforward methodology that redefines the entire Value Chain.
- Design Practice -
Sensible Solutions for Product Development
Product Design - Vetting and Validation
Specification of the sum of parts, technologies and performance attributes, leading to a complete finished system or tool
Fluency with implementing and organized new product development groups in US and abroad, managed international design and engineering teams
Communication of the product, application and experience. Excellent presentation and sales
Human Factors
Functional look and feel that engages your consumer, physically, visually and emotionally.
Planes, trains, automobiles, battery haulers, residential and commercial environments
Testing and Certification - IP, NRTL
Longevity, electromechanical and safety
Translation of foreign product for the US market, focusing on UL/CUL, NEC, local code and regulations. Working with international and local labs
UL, ETL, SGS, MIL-SPC, CG-STD, UL NRTL
We write procedures, assist in standards updates and have set up 4 testing labs in three different countries to date
Manufacturing
Making of a finished good by use of manual or machine labor
LEAN and Kaizen techniques
Sheet metal forming (stamping, forming, spinning, hydro, deep draw, progressive), extrusions, casting (die, sand, investment), molding (injection, blow, roto, over multimedia), forming (vac, heat), assembly (piece work, custom). Finishing everything from PVD and ceramic coatings to disub printing, hydro dipping, anodizing and every form of polishing
Import / Export - Shipping / Receiving
Transport of finished goods into different geographic markets
Overnight air to shipping containers, white glove, even lashed to a bicycle
Distribution and Support
Scaled supply chain and service - we deliver
Our passion for product extends beyond creation, experience with clients in the field is by far the greatest opportunities in development and learning
Liaison for product and technology education for staff, sales, rep force and national accounts
Yes, there is a Unimog in one of our upcoming projects - stay tuned
