Surface finish is a costly and unresolved issue
Example: In press & sinter operations, tool uptime is influenced by surface finish. Poorly controlled surfaces can cause 30-50% downtime in powder manufacturing
A purpose-built surface finish spec
We work with R&D engineers to understand the performance they wish to optimize, whether it is adhesion, friction, wear, electrical and thermal conductance, leakage, part lifetime, or other properties.
Our customers get a purpose-built surface finish metric that predicts the properties they care about.
For quality-assurance and R&D
Our service empowers customers to collect data, train a machine-learning model, and implement insights into production. Our physics-informed machine learning is designed to be trained on the limited datasets typically available in manufacturing applications.
Who we are
Surface Design Solutions, Inc. is a spinoff of cutting-edge technologies from the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Freiburg. The founding team brings more than six decades of academic and industry experience with surfaces in manufacturing.
