 Prototype Design
and Fabrication |
• Bill has over ten years of experience creating many kinds of prototypes. • Insight Quest, Inc. has an in-house machine shop and in-house lab for rapid prototyping. • Keywords: In-house Prototypes: Printed Circuit Boards, Soldering, Machining, Milling, Lathe Turning, Assembly, Sheet Metal, Plastics, Vacuum forming, (LASER and waterjet cutting are outsourced). |
 |
• Fast prototypes. • High quality prototype design and/or fabrication. • Integrated R&D and prototyping. |
 |
Leadership / Management • Bill leads all prototyping projects at Insight Quest, Inc. and many at Motorola. Theory / R&D • Bill's solid physics, electronics, nanotechnology, manufacturing and chemistry background yield well designed prototypes. Software • PC-Board layout (Cadence®, OrCAD®, ExpressPCB®) , Schematic capture (Virtuoso®, Cadence®/OrCAD®, ExpressSCH®, etc.), Circuit simulators (Cadence, Pspice®, Hspice®, Spice®, etc.), CAD (Cadence®, ProEngineer®, AutoCAD®), MS Office, Canvas®, Linspire Nvu, etc. Hardware • Machining (Milling, Lathe-Turning, Drilling, Punching, Welding, Sawing), Molding (thermoforming), Assembly (printed circuit boards, enclosures, systems). |
 |
By pushing beyond the current state-of-the-art, there are these opportunities: • A well designed and well fabricated prototype always improves one's understanding of a new concept or product. Tightly coupled research, development and prototyping can get your well designed product to market faster. |
