Product Development Engineering Services

IAP specializes in helping our partners to develop products for industrial and military applications. We will take your product development effort from concept design to working prototype.  If you want, we can even help you with manufacturing, installation, and service.

Customer Problem/ Requirements		Market Research		Product Concept		Design
Product Manufacturing		Production Drawings		1st Customer Testing		Prototyping & Testing

IAP's process for innovation involves going beyond handbook guidelines and "rules of thumb." We use leading edge analysis and design tools including CAD, solid modeling, and a variety of tools for computer analysis of stress, vibration, motion, heat transfer, and magnetic fields.

And when appropriate, we conduct testing, testing, testing to make sure our designs will meet your needs.  We even build working prototypes (not just appearance models) that you can evaluate in any way you need. Will it perform twice as well as the product it replaces?  Will it last ten years and 100,000 miles?  Why guess, when you can test and be sure?

IAP is staffed with senior-level professionals experienced in a wide array of mechanical, electrical, and materials engineering areas. Check out the "IAP Areas of Expertise" table for a listing of the areas we've worked in the most recently.

Check out some examples of our work.
Our computer-based design, modeling and analysis can help you build your product, tool, die, or structure right the first time, saving you many expensive design & test iterations.	Our Solid-State Circuit Breaker is a first, improving performance while reducing part count and cost.	Our powder pressing process, called DMC, yields higher-density parts than any other rapid powder pressing process.
