Although your new product is successfully designed, it’s not yet ready for the marketplace. You still need to produce a proof-of-concept unit and prototypes of your engineered system design. Again, Design Services Network is ready to help. We offer a fully staffed and equipped workshop that allows your management and customers alike to see firsthand the value and promise of your new product.

By quickly producing this critical proof of concept, we can help reduce your total development time and expose critical design issues early in the cycle. We will also develop a test plan for maintaining a schedule and budget as the proof of concept is evaluated and tested. Finally, we have access to all the necessary testing equipment. State-of-the-art sound chambers, controlled ambient-psychrometric rooms, calorimeters and airflow tunnels allow us to administer a comprehensive plan to ensure that critical tests are passed early in the program.

Our mechanical labs evaluate product performance and quality by providing insight into everything from fatigue and failure to sound and vibration. Meanwhile, our chemistry labs are equipped and staffed for advanced evaluation of refrigerants, lubricants and their interactions.

Our instrumentation systems have the capacity for rapid and voluminous data collection, and our broadband connection provides reliable communication with clients, regardless of location. Most important, our engineers possess the ability to transform data into actionable, easily understood information.

Design Services Network laboratories are certified to perform internationally recognized agency tests, and we continue to expand evaluation services into all areas of electrical, food-safety, industrial and life-science requirements. From apparatus and materials to data transformation and evaluation-in-use market research, we apply a range of skills to ensure proof of concept before a project moves into production.
