Build better products.
Product engineering connects design, materials, manufacturing, analysis and performance to turn an engineering concept into a product that can work in the real world.
Engineering the product, not just the geometry.
A product is more than its shape. Materials, loads, manufacturing processes, operating conditions, assembly, reliability and performance all influence whether a design succeeds. MATAPPLY connects these engineering considerations during product development so that design decisions can be evaluated as part of the complete product rather than in isolation.
Connect the disciplines behind the product.
Engineering Design
Translate requirements and engineering constraints into product concepts, architectures and detailed design decisions.
Materials Engineering
Evaluate material selection, properties, performance, manufacturing requirements and application constraints.
Design Analysis
Connect product geometry and design decisions to structural, thermal and other engineering analysis.
Manufacturing Engineering
Consider manufacturing processes, assembly, tolerances and production constraints during product development.
Performance Engineering
Evaluate how the product performs against measurable functional and engineering requirements.
Design Improvement
Identify engineering opportunities to improve performance, reduce weight, cost or development effort.
From concept to product.
Product engineering brings multiple technical decisions together throughout development. The objective is not simply to create geometry, but to create a product that satisfies its functional, engineering and manufacturing requirements.
Requirements
Define functional, performance, environmental and manufacturing requirements that the product must satisfy.
Concept
Explore product architectures, materials and engineering approaches capable of satisfying the requirements.
Engineering
Develop the design using analysis, materials engineering, manufacturing knowledge and computational methods.
Validation
Evaluate the product against its engineering requirements and identify opportunities for further improvement.
Product engineering starts with what needs to improve.
The engineering approach depends on the problem being solved. Product engineering can connect design decisions to measurable improvement.
Reduce Weight
Improve product geometry and material usage while maintaining required structural and functional performance.
EXPLORE PROBLEM →Reduce Cost
Connect design, materials and manufacturing decisions to reduce product and production cost.
EXPLORE PROBLEM →Increase Performance
Improve the measurable performance of products and systems through engineering design and analysis.
EXPLORE PROBLEM →Improve Manufacturability
Design products that are easier to manufacture, assemble, validate and produce consistently.
EXPLORE PROBLEM →Reduce Development Time
Use engineering methods and computational workflows to evaluate product decisions earlier and faster.
EXPLORE PROBLEM →Product engineering draws from many disciplines.
The product is where different engineering disciplines come together. MATAPPLY connects product engineering to the underlying technical knowledge required to make better decisions.
CAE & FEA
Simulation and analysis for understanding product behaviour.
Advanced Materials
Materials selection, properties and engineering applications.
Engineering Optimization
Systematic improvement of product performance and design.
Engineering AI
AI and machine learning applied to engineering development.
Product engineering across industries.
Product engineering methods can be applied wherever physical products, components or engineered systems are developed.
Build the product around the engineering problem.
Start with what needs to improve. MATAPPLY can connect product engineering, analysis, materials and manufacturing knowledge to the challenge.
