Product Design Consulting |
|
Salient Technologies, Inc. is a design consulting firm that specializes in design and analysis services related to product development and optimization. While Salient possesses unique capabilities in advanced analysis of metals and high-strength alloys, we also have significant experience in injection-molded plastic product development. Salient has analyzed, developed and optimized products for military, sporting goods, electronics, recreation and general consumer products markets. Salient specializes in three-dimensional geometry definition and analysis using the award-winning solid modeling software SolidWorks for its geometry definition and ANSI-standard drawing generation. From 3-D geometry, Salient is equipped to perform kinematic/motion studies, thermal and vibration analyses, linear and nonlinear finite element analysis and other forms of virtual prototyping. The strength of Salient Technologies, Inc. not only lies in the impressive number of software tools that aid in fantastic results but in how they can take a client’s products (new or existing) and refine them. We combine engineering judgment, creativity and common sense to in a way that will make you say, “Why didn't I think of that?” Salient provides your organization with a unique blend of advanced and theoretical backgrounds, encompassing degrees in mechanical engineering, years of hands-on learning, and applied design and analysis experience. The result is seamless designs that are optimized through forethought and front-end effort result in product designs that maximize the functionality and durability of cost-effective products and mold simplicity. In today's competitive world many struggle between maximizing product quality while minimizing time-to-market. There is no longer a reason you have to choose one or the other. Let Salient show you how you can have the best of both worlds! |

Salient Technologies, Inc. can dramatically reduce your current design cycle times. Major corporations have turned to breakthrough technologies in the area of rapid prototyping and now you can take advantage of this exciting field for you own company. Salient can furnish you with rapid prototypes in ABS plastic directly from 3-D computer files without the expense of a mold and the time constraints of NC milling. These prototypes can then be used for marketing, functionality, compatibility or proof-of-concept studies. Salient can also help with machine-based prototypes. We work closely with several leading NC shops and can coordinate your rapid prototype tooling and or production tooling as well. Salient Technologies, Inc. can help you with many prototype options that range in both materials and cost. Let us help you make your idea a tangible reality. |

Reverse Engineering and 3D Scanning |
|
Salient Technologies, Inc. has the ability to reverse-engineer your products for the sake of creating engineering, drawings, and assembly instructions for products missing the necessary information. This has helped many companies redevelop product lines enabling them to release new products or to seek other manufacturing sources, domestic or international.
Salient also utilizes a 3D scanner for organic models and shapes. The scanner is a multi-laser scanner with an automated turn-table that records solid data transforming it into virtual data. This application operates well with clay models, sculptures, the film industry, and other products that are to difficult to define with standard dimensions.
