The transition from a one-off product to an industrialised product frequently unearths many unexpected problems which, if not solved, can be financially expensive for production yield or product quality and reproducibility. LPD Lab Services has over 140 man-years of product and process focused research and development support work. A significant proportion of this experience has involved industrial support turning ideas into a developed volume manufactured product.
LPD Lab Services’ mix of technical expertise, chemical analysis and materials analysis techniques coupled with an innovative but realistic approach with the application of modern problem solving techniques means issues are rapidly and cost effectively solved. Components and assemblies can be reverse engineered to unearth defects and offer practical solutions. Benchmarking of competitor’s products can also provide direction for product and process strategic development.
The laboratory offers materials and chemical product and process development. Advice can be made on improvements and alternative designs. LPD Lab Services can offer close co-operation as an extension of the customer’s own Research and Development departments giving access to a comprehensive range of laboratory techniques and experienced staff.
