Echo Engineering's Capablities

Echo Engineering provides a full suite of services from ideation to fulfillment.  We will partner with you in order to create and supply meaningful solutions for your most pressing challenges. Our engineering capabilities include:

• Ideation & Design
• Design for Manufacturability (DFM)
• Design for Assembly (DFA)
• Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
• Material Expertise
• Rapid Prototyping 

Echo recently added a brand new, state-of-the-art 3D printer to enhance our rapid prototyping capabilities.  

• Faster print jobs (5-15x faster than most other rapid prototyping machines out there)
• Greatly enhancing our R&D work with the EV (Electric Vehicle) market
•  

Echo Engineering and Ammex Plastics understand that before tooling up and sending your project into production, it is absolutely vital to review it with you in order to ensure manufacturability and ability to meet your requirements.

Using the part and mold design, our engineers use SolidWorks and mold flow analysis to determine what modifications, if any, need to be made.

Our engineers will work with you every step fo the way in order to review elements that will play a critical role, including:

• Material Selection
• Molding Method (example: Injection Molding vs. Compression Molding)
• Gate Locations & Material Flow
• Ejector Pin Locations
• Durometer
• Ergonomics

• Compression Molding (50-600 Tons)
• Over-Molding
• Injection Molding
• Liquid Silicone Molding

• Extrusion (including co-extrusion)
