We employ a full range of modeling and design tools, and prototyping resources to deliver robust engineering solutions. Our design solutions make individual products feasible, supply the basis for product lines and extensions or simplify production and reduce cost.

Product strategy and planning

We help our clients plan the development of single products, line extensions and full products lines to determine the most appropriate path through development, manufacturing and rollout.

Engineering Analysis

We employ sound engineering methods to develop system models that guide the development and optimization of product solutions. Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA), Finite Element Analysis (FEA), stress and strain calculations, drop testing, life cycle prediction, fluid flow, thermal analysis are used as needed to ensure that our solutions meet the demands of end users and the environments in which they are used.

Usage Scenarios

We develop and refine usage scenarios throughout the product development process. From Concept Development and Product Architecture through refinement and final implementation they are used as a reminder of the expectations of users.

Rapid Prototyping

We use a range of modeling and rapid prototyping processes throughout the product development process to build study models, engineering breadboards, and functional prototypes.

Manufacturing Liaison and Start-up Support

We assist our clients in production support by calling on a network of vendor partners that include component suppliers, molders, contract manufacturers and tool builders.

Design Services

Cusp can work with your internal engineering team and/or existing design partners to extend their capabilities or serve as an additional resource.
