Get it made right!


Design for Manufacturing


EC2, Inc. is a recognized authority when it comes to designing items for cost-effective manufacture.
 

Our expertise in jig and fixture design, materials and process selection, production methods and systems science translates into designs that work. We interface well with architects and product/graphic designers who provide their expertise to design appealing, ergonomic products. But we are manufacturing engineers: we make sure that you "make the right product and make the product right".

In most cases, designs are built around specific needs. Examples might include:

  • Parts need to be redesigned to cut production costs.
  • A tool is needed to access certain components.
  • Parts need to be assembled or inspected.
  • A product is needed to perform a certain function and/or meet a milspec.

From the overall spec, concepts are fleshed out into general working design. Product requirements are solidified.  Manufacturing methods are then evaluated based upon future production quantities.

In some cases, such as one-off tool design, manufacture begins immediately from, and sometimes concurrently with, the design stage. For production items, working prototypes or first articles  are often needed before tooling and other commitments are made for quantity production. 

We at EC2, Inc. do this every day.
