early participation in concept generation and design allows designPORT to assist in complex layout of interfacing sub-assemblies with an eye on manufacturing processes. this results in the ability to create deep core tooling while maintaining nominal dimensions at mechanical interfaces providing finished systems that function at a level normally reserved for products with extended development cycles.

hazardous environments necessitate special design considerations. this battery pack, designed to power a unit specifically intended for such conditions, needed to be designed to MIL-STD-810F. the result was a sealed, ultrasonically welded, flame retardant battery pack designed to explicitly meet the test standards laid out by the United States Department of Defense.

to address multiple markets within the automotive industry, our client needed these large injection molded parts to accept numerous display configurations. by methodically designing the internal features for optimal mold-ability and versatility, designPORT was able to decrease tooling costs and increase tolerance control despite the part size, all the while allowing for an array of different displays and graphics.

this high performance power management device needed a mechanical design that could withstand the toughest of conditions during its service life underneath vehicles ranging from semi-trucks to LAVs (light armored vehicles). to meet these performance criteria, designPORT created an enclosure and electro-mechanical interface that provided adequate ventilation while meeting SAE chemical resistance and MIL-STD-810 environmental standards.

both 3 and 5 button models of this hand-held gauss meter were produced using a single insert mold, allowing our client to cut tooling costs. this product boasts elastomeric sealed keypads, sealed LCD displays, custom battery contacts and over-molded hand grips to ensure this product met user expectations in any environment.
