JFP Technical Services, Inc., materials and metallurgical laboratory, provides expertise in special projects from product development to manufacturing engineering.

We are able to do this through our breadth of knowledge, acquired through years of diverse experience, coupled with the vast resources available in our library. This allows us to focus on the most cost-effective elements.

Application Example:

A product is designed to be automatically assembled from plastic components. These in turn are made by injection molding.

There is a risk that dimensional variation in the components will result in an insecure assembly that may fall apart at any point in the assembly process.

We developed a custom fixture and conducted extensive load tests to establish dimensional standards.

These, in turn, dictated the mold settings to ensure that the components would meet these standards.

Our methodical attention to the most critical and the most flexible components and processes will provide you with an understanding of how your product can be produced and how it will perform in service. If you are designing a new product we can assist you through an evaluation of competitors' products. This evaluation can include dimensional take off, component materials analysis, or a breakdown of processes required for manufacturing. This involvement with your product and manufacturing teams can help you maximize your advantages in emerging and mature markets.
