Services
Composite Fabrication
We create advanced composite components using thermoset and thermoplastic materials. Our processes include low-temperature composite fabrication with simple tooling and high-temperature material systems for demanding applications. Compression molding capabilities support production of reinforced plastic parts with superior impact resistance.
Finite Element Analysis
Our engineers perform detailed FEA simulations for structural validation. Combining geometric nonlinear analysis with material testing data ensures accurate prediction of component behavior under static, dynamic, and thermal loads. This supports optimization of weight and performance characteristics.
CAD Modeling
We provide 3D modeling and 2D drafting services using industry-standard tools. Our capabilities include digital mockups, tooling design, and form-fit-function evaluations that facilitate early-stage design validation and manufacturing preparation.
Thermoplastic Manufacturing
Our thermoplastic production includes compression molding of high-performance materials like PEI and PPS. This enables cost-effective manufacturing of complex parts with excellent recyclability and re-mold capabilities for sustainable production cycles.
Structural Testing
We conduct comprehensive testing to ASTM, MIL, and SACMA standards. Our facilities support material property determination, component validation, and certification testing that ensures compliance with industry requirements for aerospace and industrial applications.
