        Capabilities and Services
      In our ongoing research and development activity,
      we perform: 
       
      Continual development and improvement of our versatile system of truss designs, including applications integration and design optimization. Our work is backed by kinematic and structural analysis, cost reduction/value engineering, and reliability assurance.   
       
      CAD/CAE design and analysis using Solidworks and Cosmos
      FEA software. 
       
      Per customer request, we  provide: 
      
        • Information about specific trusses and application considerations 
             
          • Concept layouts, sizing factors, design
          specs, and load ranges 
       
          • Concept renderings for product planning presentations 
           
          • Truss licensing information and patents status 
           
          • Development history and test/validation data
          and photos 
       
          • Recommended new-product realization path to minimize your time-to-market 
           
          • Recommended manufacturing methods and acceptance testing 
           
          Others available on request.
