Design & Engineering Solutions
We offer full-service fixture design, including mechanical layout, 3D modeling, and detailed engineering documentation. Whether starting from a concept or collaborating on an existing idea, we deliver precision-engineered solutions ready for real-world testing.
CMM Dimensional Verification & Reverse Engineering
We use a Hexagon Metrology Romer Arm CMM for dimensional inspection and reverse engineering, ensuring that every component meets specification and can be validated or reproduced with confidence.
FEA/CAE Simulation
Using advanced Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) tools, we validate fixture performance under simulated load, stress, and thermal conditions before a single chip is cut—minimizing risk and reducing development time.
Rapid Prototyping
From initial design to 3D printed models and CNC-machined prototypes, we deliver functional samples in hours, not days. This speeds up decision-making and accelerates product development cycles.
Testing Equipment
We design and build custom automotive testing equipment including static load frames, load forms, positioners, and general lab test systems. Our solutions support structural testing, component validation, and dynamic simulations for Tier 1 suppliers, OEMs, and automotive test labs.
CNC Machining
(3, 4, and 5-Axis)
Our in-house machining capabilities include high-precision 3-, 4-, and 5-axis CNC milling, allowing us to efficiently produce complex components to tight tolerances and rapid turnaround times.
Custom Fabrication & Welding
We handle all custom fabrication and welding in-house, supporting both prototype and production quantities with high quality and repeatability.
What is a Vibration Test Fixture?
For vibration and shock testing, the fixture isn’t just hardware, it’s part of the measurement chain.
A well-engineered vibration fixture securely couples the test article to the shaker table while staying acoustically “invisible,” adding no unintended resonances or nulls that could skew results. By maximizing stiffness and minimizing cross-axis response, the right fixture keeps your dynamic tests accurate, repeatable, and fully representative.
