All facilitation activities will focus on developing a network of competent, reliable material vendors, machine shops & assembly houses. So that prototyping and production of devices can be more readily accomplished.

• Component Materials
  
  
• Component Machining
  
  
• Device Assembly
  
  
• Device Testing and Verification
  
  

Training Sessions will be customer and location specific in order to meet the need. Focus and breadth of materials will be developed in a customized fashion; in coordination with customer specifications and goals. The following types of Training Sessions are available :

• Topic Specific Training Sessions
  
  
• Application Specific Training Sessions
  
  
• Software Tool Specific Training Sessions
  
  

All Consulting Study activities will focus on specific device designs. Applicable software will be used for virtually prototyping where necessary. Design ideas will be focused with consideration for the following :

• Minimize volume and material costs
  
  
• Minimize manufacturing and assembly costs
  
  
• Maximize performance criteria to meet or exceed device specification

Where feasible, tools will be developed to facility design/ manufacturing processes. Tool development would include the following :

• Macro and Script Development
  
  
• Application Development
  
  
• Commercially available software Placement
