Project Management

ATech Designs, Inc. follows FDA/ISO standards to manage an entire project or small portions of a development project. We take pride in providing complete thorough documentation for all our products. Each design history file is organized so that someone unfamiliar with the product can understand the product and the complete development process. We work with narrow or broad cross-functional teams and provide updates on the project progress on a regular basis.

Idea Generation/Conceptual Brainstorming

You come up with the problem and ATech Designs, Inc. will come up with ideas and product concepts to solve the problem or market need. Our Think-Tank Team consists of a diverse group of people that pool ideas together.

Problem Solving

We love to solve problems. We especially like the difficult, more mysterious problems. We will do a complete root cause analysis and provide a complete report on our results.

To the Top

Marketing

We will talk to existing customers, perform research on the web, and perform focus groups to determine the market need and requirements. This is a critical process that is part of our product development process that we can also perform for customers that are only interested in the market data.

Benchmarking

We test and perform analysis on competitive or existing products to help provide input to product specifications and learn about what works and what doesn’t work.

Product Development

We start with ideas and use thorough engineering practices to turn those ideas into high quality, manufacturable, profitable products. The founder of ATech Designs, Inc. uses a German style of engineering. This style consists of refining designs or perfecting things that currently work well and applying advanced technology, where needed, to design new concepts to fit a market need or to solve a problem. Our goal is not to reinvent the wheel, but to combine what already works with wheels with new technology to design the best wheel. We also work hard to design quality into our products and we always keep manufacturing in mind when we design a product. We make tolerances as loose as possible and we utilize current known consistent manufacturing techniques to create a product that is very capable of being manufactured to specification. This is commonly referred to as Design For Manufacturing and Assembly or DFMA.

Product Design

This is where we use our creativity and innovative engineering skills to design a product. Our designs start out very simple and only get more complicated if absolutely necessary. This philosophy of design builds quality into a product by keeping the number of parts down, which reduces the number of potential quality issues and reduces cost. We design all our products using SolidWorks© CAD software. We can import DXF, DWG, Parasolid, IGES, STEP, ACIS, VDAFS, VRML, STL, Catia Graphics, ProE, UGII, Inventor Part, Solid Edge Part, and CADKEY parts. We can export Parasolid, IGES, STEP AP203, STEP AP214, ACIS, VDAFS, VRML, STL, eDrawing, Catia Graphics, ProE, JPEG, RealityWave ZGL, HCG, HOOPS HSF, PDF, and TIF.

Polymer Selection

ATech Designs, Inc. has extensive experience with polymer selection and can help identify the right polymer for your application. We can help determine chemical resistance, opaque versus translucent, mechanical strength, aging, creep, ultrasonic welding, bonding, thermal, and manufacturing requirements and then match these requirements with the right polymer. We can suggest amorphous, semi-crystalline, and crystalline thermal plastics. We can also suggest liquid injection molding (LIM) compounds, Thermal Plastic Elastomers (TPE), Thermal Set, gum rubber, and engineering resins and give you the pros and cons of each of these choices.

FACTTM Molding

This is a plastic injection molding process validation technique that results in Fast Accurate Consistent Tight-Tolerance (FACT) Molding. A process that uses the FACTS of physics to increase quality while decreasing cycle time of an injection molding process. This process does not require the purchase of transducers or any other equipment. ATech Designs, Inc. trains Process Engineers/Press Operators how the process works and give them software and procedures to come up with the optimum process. It leaves the guesswork out of molding and makes the process more capable for validation. We will optimize one or more processes as part of the training program. We also guarantee the results. If the new process does not improve the existing process, then there is no charge for the training, software, and procedure. The FACTTM Molding technique has been used at many large and small molding facilities with very positive results. (References are available upon request.)
