A design can work perfectly on paper and still create problems on the production floor.
DWE approaches product engineering with manufacturing in mind from the beginning. Our engineers evaluate your design, materials, tooling, performance requirements, and production process together to help identify issues early and develop a practical path to production.
Our engineering team can support individual technical challenges or collaborate throughout product development and production.
Develop and refine components, assemblies, and mechanical systems around your product’s performance and manufacturing requirements.
Support products involving wiring, electronics, electrical components, and electromechanical integration.
Apply plastics and molding expertise to part design, materials, tooling, and manufacturing processes.
Move ideas toward production with engineering support throughout design, prototyping, testing, and manufacturing.
Evaluate designs early to identify opportunities to improve moldability, repeatability, and production efficiency.
Evaluate polymers and specialty materials based on performance, environment, manufacturability, and cost.
Verify designs and manufacturing processes against project requirements before moving into repeatable production.
Investigate potential or existing failure points to identify root causes and develop practical solutions.
Support Research, Development, Test & Evaluation programs for complex products and demanding applications.
Develop tooling around your part geometry, material, production volume, and manufacturing requirements.
Our first question isn’t simply, “Can we make this part?”
It’s: “What are you trying to accomplish?”
DWE’s engineers take a collaborative approach to understanding the complete application before recommending a solution. That can mean reviewing a new concept, improving an existing design, troubleshooting a failed product, or finding a better way to manufacture it.
Choosing a resin isn’t simply about finding a material with the right specifications. Geometry, processing conditions, environmental exposure, durability, and end-use requirements all influence how a material performs in the finished product.
DWE’s engineers help evaluate those factors and select materials around the application rather than a predetermined resin list.
Our team works with:
Commodity thermoplastics
Engineering resins
High-temperature materials
Filled and reinforced polymers
Specialty and custom compounds
Product engineering and manufacturing shouldn’t operate in separate worlds.
DWE’s engineers work directly with our tooling, molding, assembly, and quality teams, allowing lessons from development and testing to carry directly into production.
That integrated approach helps support a smoother transition from:
Concept
Design
DFM
Tooling
Validation
Production
DWE isn’t a design firm handing your project off once the drawings are complete. We’re an engineering and manufacturing partner responsible for helping turn the design into a reliable product.
That combination gives our team a practical perspective on product development and allows customers to access engineering expertise throughout the manufacturing process.
Approximately 10% of DWE’s workforce is dedicated to engineering.
RDT&E
Experience
Research, development, testing, and evaluation support for demanding programs.
Prototype Through Production
Engineering support that continues into manufacturing.
45,000 Sq. Ft. Facility
Engineering, molding, assembly, and secondary capabilities in Belcamp, Maryland.
Whether you have an early-stage idea, a production-ready design, or a product that isn’t performing as expected, bring us the challenge.
Our engineers will help you determine the best path forward.
