Prototype and Testing


Knowing when and how to use hands-on tools is just as important as knowing the theoretical ones. Understanding this keeps our development activities grounded, and allows us to get to market quicker with the right technology.

In addition to our own in-house prototyping capability, we have established relationships with low, medium and high-volume manufacturers in a number of fields, allowing us in-turn to offer an excellent selection of resources to our clients.

Testing services are a key part of closing the engineering circle. Understanding how products are tested, how they perform physically, and validating simulation models is a vital part of our overall service. Our history of testing gives us confidence in our ability to create real-world solutions to real-world problems.
