Concept Development
It is not easy getting an edge in today’s competitive market and generating new ideas that are also practical is not easy. Whether you need assistance refining your own concepts or require a totally new solution, we have a history of generating product concepts for clients. We can also help you create an intellectual property barrier around your products by creating competing concepts and variations on ideas that could otherwise out-flank your IP and threaten or erode your market share.
Certification and Test Witnessing
Products or parts can just need a the ‘eye’ of an engineer or witnessing of a performance test to ensure design standards are met and that the product is safe. Third party test certification can greatly add credibility to products and increase sales. We can visit your site to witness tests and provide certification reports or cross check reports from other parties.
Analysis and Simulation
Computer simulations can increase your understanding of how products work with great fidelity and point to how they can be improved. We can help with structural finite element analysis (FEA), thermo-fluid simulations using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) as well electro- magnetic simulations. Alternatively, traditional analytic calculations are can be used to get an overall physical description of a problem or for cross checking simulations or test data and are typically more economical than full computer simulations.
Technical Risk Assesment
Product development is a high risk venture and the more original the product the higher the risk. In the end many products fail but with hind sight the reasons appears more obvious and on reflection it may have been more profitable to invest more time anticipating risks. New concepts can benefit from a risk assessment to determine technical feasibility and highlight development risks before they become a financial or schedule problem. Technical due diligence studies can help guide stakeholders to make better investments.
Design
Some problems are tightly constrained such as when the aesthetics of products have to be maintained but the performance is poor or alternatively the product has components that work well but need more visual appeal. AdamMechanica can help find solutions for situations where a trade-off between form and function has to be carefully managed or a requirement that form and function are blended together by using our combined industrial design and engineering experience.
Foresnsic Engineering and Rectifications
Occasionally, and unfortunately, during the life cycle of a product a critical component or product can fail expectantly. When things just don’t work and nobody wants significant changes to a product, we can find a solution. Our analysis can determine why devices and components fail or underperform and where possible provide economical design fixes.
