Our Technology Development Process

It starts with a conversation to define Project Scope, protected by a Non-Discloser Agreement and leads to a personalized proposal to meet the objective we jointly identify. Our work product can include:

Group 228 1
STEP 1
An approach to Technology Development based on informed, unbiased, and forward-thinking technical knowledge
STEP 2
A review of your product development information to date
STEP 3
A lab evalutation of your materials capabilities based on relevant ASTM testing, which may include creation of a starting point formula
Group 228 1
STEP 4
Consideration of how performance provides value to identified industry Trends, Drivers, and Unmet Needs
STEP 5
Additional testing aspects as determined
STEP 6
Review of interim results, refinement of project scope as needed
