We do Front End Engineering Design (FEED)
Cost effective product development programs rely upon FEED to minimize total expenditures. Although initial investment is generally higher (more up front engineering), the process generally leads to reduced cost of product development and final products.
Caelynx FEED capabilities:
- Planning/costing
- Concept design/trade studies
- Optimization/DOE
- FMEA/DVP&R support
Our design/development process is:
- Initial review of OEM requirements, objectives, and timing
- Caelynx established development plan
- Iterative design and analysis cycles utilizing conventional FE, shape optimization, and CAD mastering
- Weekly video conferences with customer (manufacturer) to assess progress, review specific design details, and solicit manufacturing review and input
- Caelynx also supported customer with OEM proposal development, providing content, reducing effort required by customer
