features and components based upon Industrial Design, manufacturing, electrical
performance and survivability criteria. The layout would incorporate Design
for Assembly and Design for Manufacturing guideline optimizations.
Industrial Design/Marketing Support - Create
high quality, high resolution color graphical representations of proposed
products or existing ones to be utilized in Industrial Design, Marketing
or other presentations. Create prototypes for market field studies.
Modeling - Model all mechanical parts utilizing
the latest CAD design tools including: SolidWorks, ProENGINEER and AutoCAD.
Vendor Selection and Supervision - Assistance
in the selection of qualified vendors for all product components.
File Transfer, Internet Functions - Assistance
in transferring files to all vendors including version control and file
translation services. Perform internet searches for components that satisfy
sales volume, budget and reliability .
Rapid Prototyping - Provide all design data and
refer vendors cabable of generating prototypes of the design for early
review. These include: stereolithography, urethane castings and machined
substrates for plastic parts and wire EDM and hand formed metal parts.
Finite Element Analysis - Perform finite element
analysis of components using COSMOSWorks for stress and thermal dynamics.
