Prototype Validation & Production Readiness
Timeline: 4-6 weeks
Pricing: €30 – 60Κ
The Challenge You Face:
You have an optimized design. Now you need real-world validation that it performs as predicted before committing to production scaling.
Our Process:
Phase 1: Oversee prototype manufacturing (quality control and oversight)
Phase 2: Performance testing and validation
Phase 3: Compare actual performance to FEA predictions
Phase 4: Identify design iterations if needed
Phase 5: Validate manufacturability at production scale

Distinctly Positioned for This Work
Research-Informed Commercial Methodology
Most consulting is either research-only (theoretically pure, practically
limited) or empirically-based (fast iteration, limited science).
Our team conducts active research in functionally graded materials optimization while solving commercial problems. This creates a research-to-practice pipeline where academic rigor informs commercial methodology.
Every recommendation is grounded in materials science principles AND validated through production experience. Theory without practice fails in manufacturing. Practice without theory fails in optimization.
We combine both.
Materials Science + Manufacturing Integration
Functional grading requires both deep materials science AND thorough
manufacturing knowledge.
Most specialists are one or the other:
– Materials scientists understand property optimization but not AM production constraints
– AM engineers understand process but lack materials science depth
This creates the classic problem: beautiful designs that manufacturing can’t execute.
Our team integrates both perspectives from conception. Your design is
theoretically sound AND actually manufacturable.
Quantified Results, Not Promises
We specify results, not aspirations.
Not: “Optimize your design”
But: “22% weight reduction, 28% thermal improvement, validated for SLM manufacturing”
Results come from analysis grounded in your specific constraints, validated through prototyping, and measured against real-world performance.
Multi-Objective Optimization
Single-objective optimization is straightforward: minimize weight, maximize thermal conductivity, reduce cost.
Real manufacturing requires balancing multiple competing objectives:
✓ Weight reduction
✓ Thermal performance
✓ Structural integrity
✓ Manufacturing cost
✓ Production scalability
✓ Tolerance and quality control
This requires integrated systems thinking across materials science, design, and manufacturing. Few teams possess this combination.
