Scale-up & pre production

By being there for Members during scale-up and pre-production, we help ensure a smooth transition to the manufacturing process.

Advanced Development Services: EWI's full-service product and process development center is available to help develop new technologies, bring new products to market, increase production throughput, and product quality.

General Technical Assistance: EWI engineers are always available to provide Members with general technical assistance and advice during scale-up and pre-production.

In-plant Assessments: When appropriate, we travel to Member sites to conduct in-plant assessments to resolve scale-up and pre-production issues.

Prototyping: EWI builds and tests weld prototypes in the test lab and virtually using computer-aided engineering (CAE) and model simulation.

Manufacturing Transition: We use our engineering expertise to help Members successfully make the transition from prototype to beta to full-scale manufacturing.

Process Optimization/DOE: EWI conducts designs of experiment (DOEs), establishes process windows and addresses fit-up issues in order to optimize production and save our Members money.

Testing: EWI conducts non-destructive evaluation (NDE) along with standard, specialized, mechanical, metallurgical, penetration, and other testing. Most all testing can be done full-scale in our state-of-the-art labs.
