Manufacturing Engineering and Prototype Production

Throughout the design process, Manufacturing Engineering is engaged concurrently to optimize the design and streamline the ramping of the product and equipment into full scale manufacturing. From the earliest engagement with the design process, D&K's Manufacturing Engineering produces early phase models, prototypes and cost estimates of the final product. They interface directly with either the client or our internal design functions to create a complete product introduction plan.

Prototype production is then utilized to test out concepts and assist in the design of the final manufacturing process. Once the overall manufacturing process has been agreed upon the Manufacturing Engineering function then produces a layout of the assembly and test process along with detailed assembly and test processes.

Manufacturing Engineering also supports the control of design changes by the expeditious implementation of engineering change notices to the production process.
