The approach to both product design and technology development is driven by knowledge of the manufacturing maturity and risk of the various options available. TWI engineers can work with you to identify the most promising option that satisfies your application and need. An analysis of the alternatives with subject matter experts will help you:
- Define product and process requirements
- Identify relevant technologies for your application – including process automation
- Understand their level of maturity and any risks associated with advancing their development
- Define economic feasibility – investments required for alternatives
- Establish production feasibility – tooling, facilities and skills needed
TWI support at this point will help you reduce technical risk, validate design/process options, validate cost estimates and evaluate the manufacturing and inspection process options. This extends through to production of prototypes in the next phase.
