Why Choose Elimold?
Choosing Elimold means not only manufacturing your product, but also advancing its potential. We combine advanced manufacturing technology with a people-centric approach to occupy a unique position in the market. From Design for Manufacturing (DFM) collaboration, where our engineering team collaborates to ensure optimized and cost-effective production, to our skilled employees who ensure industry-leading quality, we guarantee results that are not only satisfactory, but exemplary. When you work with Elimold, you are not just working with a manufacturer; you are aligning with a tradition of excellence.
Rapid Prototyping
Whether or not you created an original design, we can help you prototype your drone parts to turn your vision into reality. We specialize in low-volume, handcrafted hardware with great attention to detail. Simply provide us with high-level specifications for your components, along with design drawings, and we’ll craft a turnkey solution for your specific parts. We have the ability to source, supply, or manufacture any necessary materials for your project. Our in-house equipment includes CNC mills, CNC routers, lathes, FDM 3D printers, vacuum formers, temperature calibration chambers, gyro rate tables, and more, providing machining and PCB assembly services.
Engineering Capabilities
Elimold is a contract engineering partner for government agencies, corporate organizations, academic institutions, and businesses of all sizes. The truest capabilities of our team are realized during the engineering process, as engineers, project managers, and vertical experts come together to build custom drone parts solutions for our partners.
Integration Services
When off-the-shelf solutions don’t adequately meet your specific needs, our integration services can help fill the gaps left by mass-production technology. Our team of dedicated technicians can help you custom-process any hardware (e.g., cameras and airframes) you need for your drone and enable interoperability with your existing enterprise ecosystem or operational workflow. Simply provide us with your sensor, drone (regardless of brand or model), or a design drawing of your specific needs, and we can develop a relevant parts manufacturing solution for you.
Get Custom Part Supply Chain Advantages
By contracting with Elimold, your product and development teams can optimize designs for supply chain risk/performance, testability, and manufacturability. Elimold has the ability to take concepts through engineering, supply chain, and manufacturing, a prototyping skillset, to drive toward production. The resulting design will reduce costs, achieve high quality levels during manufacturing, allow for proper testing, and quickly reach volume production.
Testing and Verification
We have many testing and verification standards in place to ensure the highest quality product every time. We have an independent weld verification room for destructive testing of spot and MIG welds, as well as non-destructive spot weld verification using RSWA Tessonics technology. In both processes, we report using standard teardown files so your team can easily understand our test results.
We also use dimensional measurement to measure parts and fixtures as large as a full BIW. Our white light scanning, blue light scanning, and dual arm CMMs measure every aspect of a part to ensure it meets your exact specifications. We utilize Polyworks and Data Page for reporting to ensure test results are easy to understand.
For special projects, such as drone battery housings and bottom shells, we have unique pressure testing equipment to test for leaks. This involves blowing pressurized air into the part to measure the leak decay. We do this for every battery box and bottom shell to verify it meets your standards. We then complete dimensional inspection using a CMM or laser scanning. Any parts that do not meet specifications are re-machined and re-tested.
We use world-class quality systems to ensure our processes deliver the best results. Our metallographic lab is used for R&D, hot stamping material testing, product validation and weld failure analysis. This microstructural analysis allows for very specific tensile strength and hardness testing. Our quality lab uses CMM programming, portable laser scanning and inspection devices to verify tight tolerances. We are also able to test welds in real time, ensuring fast time to market and the quality you expect.
