CSS' Product Development services span from early composite prototype development through domestic or overseas composite
production line qualifications. We weigh critical performance, quality, and cost trade-offs while systematically
working through the myriad of material selection, product design, process optimization, and manufacturing operation decisions
associated with each new product development effort. CSS also supports the development of new test methods to validate product
designs, substantiate performance claims, and expose product weaknesses prior to manufacturing scale-up. Last and
perhaps most important, we generate thorough product and process documentation including detailed Bill of Materials,
Product Specifications, Process Specifications, Test Methods, and Standard Operating Procedures to support in-house or overseas
production.
CSS also supports composite manufacturing process development and optimization efforts as part of our Product Development
services. CSS' composite processing core competencies include
Compression Molding,
Bladder Inflation Molding (BIM), and
Resin
Infusion (VARTM) processes.
