6D works with manufacturers to validate designs, solve problems, perform FEA, instrumentation and measurement, and conduct field testing anywhere in the world.
At 6D we get to
the root cause of mechanical failure issues. Our expertise allows us to
pinpoint issues and predict solutions for improved quality and performance. No
matter where you are in the product life cycle process, 6D has the experience
to guide
design on the frontend, validate and improve designs before going to market or diagnose
and solve complex problems in existing systems.
