How our expertise supports your project

Natech provides comprehensive engineering and design development services, from initial concept creation to full-scale commercialization. Our team works closely with clients to bring their product ideas to life, focusing on innovative solutions for medical devices and other precision products.

Natech can work with anything from a simple napkin sketch to a fully developed CAD model. Whether your design is in its early stages or already detailed, our engineering team can guide you through the development process and turn it into a manufacturable product.

Design for Manufacturing & Assembly (DFMA) is a process where Natech engineers design products with the entire production and assembly process in mind. By considering factors such as part functionality, materials, and the end-use application, we ensure that your product transitions smoothly from concept to mass production.

MoldFlow simulation is used to analyze the injection molding process during the design phase. It helps optimize the product design by predicting how the material will flow through the mold, identifying potential defects, and ensuring efficient production.

Natech assigns a dedicated project engineer to each client. This engineer works closely with your team, providing guidance, managing schedules, and communicating any risks or changes. Our project management approach ensures that your project stays on time and within budget.

By focusing on DFM, Natech helps reduce production lead times, minimize risks, and improve the overall quality of your final product. This approach ensures that products are designed with optimal manufacturability in mind, making them easier and more cost-effective to produce.

Natech uses a “Quality by Design” approach, where quality is built into every stage of the design process. Our engineers work to reduce risks and ensure that the final product meets high standards of performance and reliability.

Scientific validation is a process Natech uses to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the manufacturing process. By validating the process scientifically, Natech reduces risks, improves process control, and delivers consistent, high-quality results.

Natech primarily serves the medical and pharmaceutical industries but can support a wide range of industries that require precision engineering, complex part design, and innovative manufacturing solutions.

Natech optimizes the design for production by utilizing tools like MoldFlow analysis, automation, and scientific processing. This ensures that the transition from design to production is efficient, minimizing delays and reducing costs.

Yes, Natech supports both low-volume R&D production and high-volume commercial production. Our scalable design and manufacturing processes allow for easy adjustments as your project grows from prototype to large-scale manufacturing.

Natech offers unparalleled engineering support through its intense development program, focusing on design for manufacturability and assembly. Our engineers work closely with clients to deliver innovative and efficient solutions, ensuring their projects are successful from concept to completion.
