Consulting

Your Problem. Our Engineers.

Material selection headaches, processing issues, cost pressure from procurement - we've seen it before. Bring us in early, before the scrap pile grows.

Consulting Services
We Work Your Problem.
Material Selection

Starting from scratch or switching grades? We evaluate 10+ candidates against your application requirements and narrow to 2-3 final options with documented rationale - no guesswork, no vendor bias.

Cost Reduction Audits

We've saved clients 8-22% on material cost without changing the application. Grade switches, supplier consolidation, regrind qualification - we find the margin you've been leaving on the table.

Processing Troubleshooting

Warping, sink marks, gate blush, delamination - we diagnose in the field. Most root causes are identified within one plant visit, without shutting down the line.

Engagement Models
Two Ways to Work With Us.
Project-Based
Defined Scope. Fixed Fee.

Best for a specific problem with a clear deliverable. We scope the work, agree on a fee, and deliver. No hourly billing, no scope creep surprises.

  • Material selection report (2-3 final candidates, full rationale)
  • Cost reduction analysis with documented savings path
  • Processing audit with root-cause findings and corrective actions
  • Supplier qualification package (test data, documentation, QC plan)
  • Fixed timeline, fixed cost - agreed before we start
Retainer
Ongoing Access. Named Engineer.

Best for companies that need a technical partner on call - not just for one project, but for whatever comes up. Priced monthly, cancel anytime.

  • Named technical engineer who knows your application
  • Monthly strategy call - you set the agenda

Case Snapshot
What This Looks Like in Practice.
Automotive / Material Selection
ABS to PC-ABS Transition for Under-Hood Application

An injection molder was experiencing heat deflection failures with their current ABS grade on an under-hood automotive component. The OEM spec required a Vicat softening point of at least 110°C. We evaluated three PC-ABS grades against the full application profile - temperature, impact, flow, and colorability - qualified one grade in six weeks, and the transition reduced material cost by 14% versus the incumbent high-performance ABS grade they had considered moving to.
