Fabrication Connection, LLC

The world is full of great ideas. What’s lacking is the ease of bringing them to life. FabConn creates that ease of bringing ideas to an actuality through our global networks and design engineering options. Our product engineering teams work collaboratively with in-house researchers to perfect the design and bring products to market as envisioned. What is Product Engineering? Product engineering means designing and pricing products, translating your ideas into prototypes, preparing products for volume manufacturing and validating and testing the design. Every step is done with an eye toward helping you comply with regulatory requirements. Conceptual Engineering In the conceptual engineering phase, we are focused on designing your product, exploring manufacturing feasibility and pricing options. This stage includes defining requirements, establishing the system architecture, concept models and prototyping. Design for Manufacturing FabConn next works to optimize those designs. We’ll identify what needs to happen to produce your product and define a path to get to production. This step involves assessing the manufacturability of the product, designing the mechanical components, designing plastic injection molding parts, geometric-dimensioning and tolerancing, selecting materials and analyzing costs, and preparing required manufacturing drawings. Design Validation and Testing When you’re ready to move into production, FabConn helps by using validation techniques to test, refine and verify new products before they are released for manufacturing. We’ll conduct failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA), finite element analysis (FEA), thermal analysis, risk analysis (FMEA and design reviews), verification and validation analysis. This step also includes simulations including injection molding simulation and mechanical event simulation. How FabConn Can Help You! You need an experienced partner to handle product engineering for you – let FabConn be that partner.
