With the ability to print 3D, functional prototypes in hours, our ZPrinter® 450 can save time and money when developing a new product. Prototypes can be used as functional examples for proposals, design reviews, and can also find any design errors before spending thousands on production tooling. The build chamber is 8” x 10” x 8” (multiple builds can be attached for larger projects) and has a layer thickness of 0.0035”.
Our engineers use SolidWorks® to create your 3D design into reality. Along with our ZPrinter® 450 rapid prototype machine, we also have a Milltronics VM20 CNC milling machine dedicated solely for research and design projects.
Our engineers use Mentor Graphics PADS® to transform your idea to an electrical design. We will perform a complete electrical analysis of the system and make suggestions if improvements can be made. Our experience has taught us how to design a robust system and avoid common pitfalls.
The best circuit schematic is only as good as the layout. Careful implementation is critical at this step. Our engineers will not only consider functional and EMI factors, but also perform a thorough design for manufacturing (DFM) review to insure the board can be built using the most reliable and cost effective processes.
An often overlooked component of a system is the wire harness. A properly designed wire harness not only provides superior reliability and performance but also minimizes costs, labor to manufacture and install, weight, and other considerations to improve the overall system implementation.
Whether you have an idea scratched on a napkin or a completed design, our experienced, in-house engineering team can provide the resources necessary to complete the development, prototype, testing, certification, and production phases of the product life-cycle. As a supplier to the military and OEM’s, our engineers understand the process to produce a robust, cost effective design for the global market.
