Lessons learned
designing products from concept
architecture through prototyping and
into customer’s hands for over 20 years are applied to every project to eliminate
risk and expense at every phase of
development.
Independent
inventors benefit from SNK’s low
overhead structure to understand their options, from
patent suitability to design consulting, in bringing unique products quickly to a target
market.

Computer Aided Design and Engineering
IronCAD
Software
for product development is utilized from
initial concept to enable early visualization of ideas. A seamless
transition into detailed 3-D solid
modeling with animations to
support early sales opportunities, followed by 2-D drawings as needed and multiple
file output formats fully supports
the entire development and manufacturing
cycle.

Prototype Model Building & Testing
A network of
prototype parts suppliers including rapid
plastic prototypes such as SLA and SLS models is maintained. Individual parts
are assembled into functional prototypes
to enable product visualization,
design verification and early
functional testing.

Supply Chain Start-up Management
Rapid delivery
to market ensures return on your
development investment begins
quickly. SNK will assist
all phases of the supply chain
support of new products. Ranging from objective review
of potential suppliers, through
supplier design reviews, design optimization
for manufacturing and supplier pilot builds guarantees your product arrives smoothly to the market.
-
Performance Testing & Volume Production Start-up
Pilot units are
built from first run supplier parts
using production materials and processes. Pilot
units are then exhaustively tested
to ensure all performance
expectations are met. SNK stays with your project to make sure product specifications are
satisfied. Any small enhancements to
the design are integrated into
production release-able
parts
documentation.
