About

IAS Machine Design is a consulting company. We provide design services to companies that are developing a new technology. 

Sometimes, a concept or prototype isn't moving forward, despite years of work. Sometimes, highly skilled people are hard to find. 

We help companies get their prototype to market, obtain new IP,  persuade investors, and ultimately find a path to generating revenue.

Our founder is a mechanical engineer with 20 years of product-development experience, 5 successful patents, and has a track record of turning around projects that aren't moving forward.  

We are willing to take a section of of your design and develop it into a working product. Whether we are starting from an early concept, or a prototype that needs to be overhauled, we are confident that we can get you results.

Our founder is an expert at FEA simulation. He has extensive experience in complex analysis such as masts, chassis, combined machine elements, hyper-elastic expansion of elastomers, multi-stage flow of elastomers, hyper-plastic deformation of metals, etc.

We specialize in hyper-elastic simulation of elastomers in extreme environments with extreme expansions. To do so, we use specialized FEA software that go beyond what common simulation packages are capable of. 

Ultra-compact designs can be achieved with multi-stage mechanisms, either sequential or simultaneous. Pipelines and aerospace are not the only ones to benefit, as battery technologies  are also demanding less space and less weight.

As counter-intuitive as it is, sometimes the best tool to design a mechanism is a series of vector diagrams in 2D CAD software. For statically-indeterminate mechanisms (such as cycloids), this may even be the only option.
