We hesitate to call what we do 'consultancy' at EMC2 but cannot think of a more appropriate term. We find practical solutions to problems whether it be in processing, design, material or manufacture. Composite processing is not the black art that many claim. By understanding the physical principles we create effective process models that help in line design and enable us to reduce tooling costs as fewer iterations if any are needed to get to the optimum solution. No job is too small or too big. So whether you are starting from scratch, would just like to improve your process efficiency, or simply want help in the design of a new part, prototyping and full set-up for its subsequent manufacture we are here to help.
