Below the surface
In high-volume manufacturing, the surface quality of tooling impacts downtime, scrap, and rework. The surface quality of products affects their look, feel, and performance.
In fact, poorly optimized surfaces account for 35% of scrap, rework, and unplanned downtime, increasing costs and reducing profitability.
Surface Designer enables manufacturers to optimize surfaces, ultimately producing better parts at lower cost.
Whether you make products in-house or use contract manufacturers, Surface Designer will ensure your parts meet your performance goals and production needs, maximizing the profitability of each product line.
Surface Designer empowers manufacturers to produce better parts at lower cost.
The two steps to lower production costs
Design & build the optimal surface on a single platform.
Step 1
Design the right surface
Surface Designer helps engineering teams identify which surface features actually control performance in a given application. Instead of relying on conventional roughness metrics that often fail to correlate with outcomes, Surface Designer constructs physics-based, multi-scale surface metrics rooted in fundamental models of surface interaction.
Using physics-informed machine learning, the platform determines which of those metrics matter and which do not.
Model Training Environment:
- Discover the surface features that control performance
- Replace generic roughness metrics with purpose-built alternatives
- Define surface specifications grounded in physics
- Reduce development time and costly experimentation
Step 2
Build the right surface
Our software brings your engineering team's design metrics and specifications to the shop floor. This process enables QA and production teams to evaluate surfaces using the same performance-driving metrics, rather than relying on visual inspection or single-number roughness values.
These metrics are interpretable and scalable. Use them for real-time pass/fail decisions, early drift detection, and consistent quality verification.
Surface Designer closes the loop between design intent and manufacturing execution.
Production Environment:
- Identify surface-related issues before they impact yield
- Reduce rework and manual inspection
- Maintain consistent quality across production environments
- Enforce performance-based specifications at scale
Surface analysis & expert-led support
Surface Design Solutions also provides expert-led surface analysis to help manufacturers understand, design, and control the surfaces that drive performance. Our offerings are modular and flexible, whether you need hands-on scientific expertise, software tools, or both.
