Many manufacturing problems can be traced back to surface problems
So whether you’re looking for expert-guided support in designing the right surface for your application, or you want quality-assurance software to ensure consistent high-quality performance, Surface Design Solutions has the team and technology for you. When you’re ready, let us show you how we can quickly and reliably solve surface problems, saving you time and money.
Where surfaces matter most
Wherever friction and flow are a concern, the surface quality of a part becomes a defining factor. While topography metrics play a critical role in performance, yield, and reliability across virtually every manufacturing sector, there are a variety of industries they impact most:
Automotive & Heavy Industry
Aerospace & Defense
Medical Devices
Semiconductor & Products
Tooling, Molds, & Additive Manufacturing
Consumer Electronics
Surface-level thinking runs deep
Our platform, Surface Designer, enables you to pinpoint the exact surface features responsible for product failures or production variability, then guide you toward the right specifications and corrective actions. With Surface Design Solutions, you’ll move beyond trial-and-error finishing and manual inspection, resulting in faster issue resolution, reduced rework, and more uptime across every line.
With SDS, you gain a partner who can diagnose issues quickly, validate solutions with real data, and help your team build more predictable, efficient, and profitable production processes.
More than software, our team of specialists works directly with your engineers to interpret the data and implement actionable changes, from refining surface specifications to improving tooling and stabilizing production.
Our method combines decades of surface-science research with machine learning to analyze surfaces across length scales. This approach reveals the hidden drivers of friction, leakage, adhesion, and failures in products or production.
