Engineering decisions grounded in the application

Engineering Material Selection is approached as part of the complete manufacturing requirement. Geometry is only one factor: loading, temperature, UV exposure, wear, tolerances, quantity and service environment all affect the correct production route.

What we assess

  • Functional and dimensional requirements
  • Material behaviour in the working environment
  • Process capability, finish and repeatability
  • Production quantity, lead time and cost
