Exponent provides design analysis services to meet a wide range of client objectives. One client may be faced with a potential regulatory issue and wish to have an independent assessment of product safety. Another client may be interested in buying a product to incorporate into a system they are developing. A manufacturer may be looking for new ideas to help them bring a design to production. All of these clients can benefit from coming to Exponent. Whether it's a new way of analyzing the design, or a unique test methodology that ultimately helps them over their design obstacle, we have expertise they can rely on.
Because conventional test methods don't always provide answers to our clients' questions, Exponent frequently develops new test methodologies and systems. Exponent conducts not only full system tests but also tests focused on specific components or subsystems. Frequently, the client does not know what kinds of tests should be run in order to answer their questions. This is where our experience in testing hundreds of products becomes invaluable.
Not only is Exponent effective at helping clients with design analysis and test methods we are best known for figuring out "what happened" when something fails or develops a problem while in service. These projects can come in all sizes.
