If your application does require a custom solution, our Product Development engineers are supported by a Manufacturing team that can bring your unique concept into the production environment. Prototypes can be turned around very quickly using our laboratory automated metering mix machine and various statistical experimental design methods (D.O.E.), such as Taguchi, Yates, CCD, S/N Ratio Calculations, Analysis of Variance, Regression Analysis, Tolerance Analysis and Loss Function, to find the production process settings that will deliver a repeatable high yield process. Our customers often conduct lab and/or field trials with our prototype parts. Based on the feedback received, we then modify the compound and/or design as needed to ensure a successful production process.Depending on the complexity of the project, production parts could be available in as little as 3-weeks.
