Synopsis
Do
you have general ideas on products
that you want to develop but are not sure precisely
where the best opportunities are or what the
competitive landscape looks like? Have you
already determined exactly which opportunities to pursue but
need some help with figuring out which materials to
use and how to develop and implement the best manufacturing
process technologies? Do you
need manufacturing, material characterization, product testing,
prototyping and troubleshooting laboratory
resources, as well as expert guidance, to accelerate your
work? Do you have documentation needs related
to your technology? Wherever you may be in your product
research, development and commercialization ventures, we can
help. In working with us, you will receive the quality of
services that you require and deserve from a team of
professionals who care about your specific needs and who have
the ability to address these needs successfully.
We
accelerate product design, research and development
(R&D), manufacturing and commercialization by
providing:
- Technology,
business and market opportunity assessments
and competitive
intelligence.
- Ideation and concept
shaping during exploratory R&D.
- Continued
consultation services throughout the entire product
development cycle.
- Access to
world-class manufacturing, material characterization,
product testing, and prototyping laboratory facilities and
expertise.
- Technical
writing needed by our clients in their product and
process research, development and marketing
efforts.

and Syntho-Glass XT™ for examples
of major new products that we have helped two of our clients
develop.
Please contact us now at (989)631-9237 or
info@polymerexpert.biz or
use our online form to discuss your product R&D challenges. The
first consultation session is always provided free of
charge.
If
you prefer to learn more about what we do and how we do it
before you contact us, please see the further information
provided below.
Further Information
We help companies
navigate through all stages of
product R&D. We can begin
helping at any stage of your product R&D cycle.
We provide many choices on how to
work with us, to meet your needs to your maximum possible
satisfaction.
Our
consultants survey
technologies and markets of interest to our clients
and provide well-informed confidential strategic and
tactical recommendations on how to proceed. Our
strategic alliances include a provider of leading edge
business, market and technical intelligence
resources. The manner of delivery of our findings can range
from informal suggestions made during meetings or teleconferences to
formal opportunity identification presentations and
single-client or multi-client reports. Our reports are
much more than mere literature surveys. They reflect the
results of the “in depth” evaluation of the “opportunity space” in
the technology and market area of interest to our clients. We help
in ideation and concept
shaping during exploratory R&D. We are
then available to provide further help and guidance throughout
the entire product development and
commercialization effort through our expertise in polymers
and composites, as well as through access to the product development
laboratory resources summarized below. Our
technical writing services include the writing
and editing of "white papers", books, manuals, brochures, reports,
press releases, and proposals for our clients.
Affiliated Product Development Laboratory
Resources
Valuable additional resources (equipment,
facilities, services, and areas of expertise) are available
from our strategic partner for product R&D
when a product development effort advances beyond the exploratory
phase:
·
Manufacturing
facilities: Manufacturing
equipment and space for prototype production runs and networks to
provide additional resources.
·
Material and
product testing: Processes and equipment for
quality testing new parts and materials. Plastics, metals and
construction materials can all be tested.
·
Patents and
trademarks: Leading our clients through
the search and patenting process so that their new inventions and
products can receive patent protection.
·
Product and
process development: Help
from experienced technical staff and state-of-the-art laboratory
facilities in making your ideas for new products and/or processes
become a reality.
·
Prototype
creation: Help
with computer-aided design (CAD) and with building actual
prototypes or models, to clients who are developing a new product or
part, and to clients who are reengineering an existing
product or part.
