Engineering for Consumer Products.
MATAPPLY connects engineering knowledge, product engineering, simulation, materials, optimization and manufacturing intelligence to the development of consumer products.
Engineering challenges behind everyday products.
Consumer products must balance performance, cost, appearance, usability, durability and manufacturability. From early product concepts through detailed engineering and production, teams must make decisions about materials, geometry, performance, manufacturing processes and cost. MATAPPLY connects those decisions to the engineering knowledge required to improve the product.
Where the engineering problems occur.
Consumer Electronics & Appliances
Engineering of physical products, housings, mechanisms, thermal systems, materials and manufacturing processes used in consumer electronics and appliances.
Sporting Goods
Engineering products for strength, weight, performance, durability and user experience.
Home & Lifestyle Products
Engineering everyday products with focus on usability, durability, materials, cost and manufacturability.
Tools & Equipment
Engineering hand tools, equipment and consumer-grade mechanical products for performance and reliability.
Personal Products
Engineering products where ergonomics, materials, appearance, reliability and manufacturability interact.
Packaging & Product Systems
Engineering packaging and supporting product systems for protection, efficiency, cost and manufacturing.
What needs to improve?
Consumer product engineering is often a balance between performance, cost, weight, appearance, manufacturability and development speed. MATAPPLY approaches these challenges through measurable engineering problems.
Reduce Weight
Reduce product mass while maintaining strength, durability, usability and perceived quality.
EXPLORE PROBLEM → PROBLEM / 02Reduce Cost
Reduce material, manufacturing and product cost while maintaining required performance and quality.
EXPLORE PROBLEM → PROBLEM / 03Increase Performance
Improve product performance, durability, efficiency and functional behaviour.
EXPLORE PROBLEM → PROBLEM / 04Improve Manufacturability
Improve designs for manufacturing, assembly, production efficiency and repeatability.
EXPLORE PROBLEM → PROBLEM / 05Reduce Development Time
Accelerate product development, analysis, iteration, validation and engineering decision-making.
EXPLORE PROBLEM → PROBLEM / 06Create Something New
Explore new product concepts and translate ideas into engineered products with a path toward manufacture.
EXPLORE PROBLEM →What knowledge can solve it?
Consumer products draw on multiple engineering disciplines. MATAPPLY connects product challenges to the technical knowledge required to understand, improve and develop them.

EXPLORE KNOWLEDGE → KNOWLEDGE / 02Advanced Materials
Materials selection, performance and engineering applications for consumer products.
EXPLORE KNOWLEDGE → KNOWLEDGE / 03Engineering Optimization
Optimization of geometry, materials and product parameters against performance and cost constraints.
EXPLORE KNOWLEDGE → KNOWLEDGE / 04Engineering AI
AI and machine learning for engineering prediction, design exploration, optimization and decision support.
EXPLORE KNOWLEDGE → KNOWLEDGE / 05Product Engineering
Connecting product design, materials, manufacturing, performance and lifecycle requirements.
EXPLORE KNOWLEDGE → KNOWLEDGE / 06Product Strategy
Connecting engineering decisions with product requirements, market opportunities and commercial objectives.
EXPLORE KNOWLEDGE →How MATAPPLY can help.
Engineering knowledge becomes valuable when it is applied to an actual consumer product and its commercial constraints. MATAPPLY connects technical engineering capabilities to product development and business decisions.
Product Engineering
Engineering support connecting product design, materials, manufacturing, performance, cost and development requirements.
Engineering Analysis
Simulation and computational analysis for understanding structural, thermal and mechanical product behaviour.
Engineering Optimization
Systematic improvement of product geometry, materials, weight, performance and manufacturing constraints.
Engineering Intelligence
Combining engineering knowledge, computational methods and AI to improve product development and technical decision-making.
From industry to action.
MATAPPLY connects the consumer-product environment, the engineering problem, the relevant knowledge and the engineering response into one continuous decision process.
Where?
The consumer-product environment defines customer, performance, cost, material and manufacturing requirements.
What?
A measurable product or engineering challenge defines what needs to improve.
How?
Engineering knowledge provides the methods needed to understand and solve the product challenge.
What next?
The relevant engineering capability is applied to the product, manufacturing process or development decision.
Start with the product problem.
Tell MATAPPLY what you are trying to improve, build, understand or decide. The relevant engineering knowledge can then be connected to the challenge.
