Our R&D Process
Our R&D process is a rigorous and systematic approach that ensures that our products meet the highest quality and performance standards.
We begin by identifying a problem or a need that our clients have expressed. Then, we brainstorm and come up with ideas on how to solve the problem or meet the demand. Our team conducts extensive research to find the best materials, technologies, and manufacturing processes to help us achieve our goal.
Once we have a viable concept, we create a prototype and test it thoroughly to ensure that it meets our standards and the needs of our clients.
Exotic Materials
At Prax Engineering, we use a wide range of exotic materials in our R&D projects. These materials include Titanium, Beryllium Copper, Nimonic, Inconel, tungsten and other specialized alloys. These materials have unique properties that make them ideal for specific applications.
For example, Titanium is lightweight, strong, and corrosion-resistant, making it ideal for aerospace applications. Beryllium Copper has high strength, conductivity, and thermal stability, making it suitable for electrical and electronic applications. Nimonic is a high-temperature alloy used in gas turbine engines and other applications.
Our Approach to R&D
At Prax Engineering, we understand that R&D is crucial to the engineering process. It allows us to push the boundaries of what’s possible, create effective solutions, and stay ahead of the competition. To achieve these goals, we approach R&D in the following ways:
1.Collaborative Research
We believe that the best ideas come from collaboration. We collaborate with academic institutions, research organizations, and other industry leaders to explore new technologies, systems, and materials to create maximum impact. Our researchers and engineers work closely with these partners to develop new ideas and concepts that we can incorporate into our products.
2.Cutting-edge Materials
We understand that materials are the building blocks of any successful engineering project. That’s why we are constantly exploring new materials and techniques to improve our products. Some exotic materials we use in our R&D projects include Titanium, beryllium copper, nimonic, and other specialized alloys.
3.Focus on Innovation
At Prax Engineering, we never stop innovating. Our team is dedicated to finding new and better ways of doing things, and we’re always on the lookout for new ideas and concepts.
4.Rigorous Testing
Our R&D process involves rigorous testing to ensure that our products meet the highest quality and performance standards. We use a range of testing methods, including simulation, prototyping, modelling, and physical testing, to validate our designs and ensure that they perform as expected.
