MaxVision has forged extremely tight relationships with low-level component fabricators of metal and plastic parts only minutes away from our facilities. All design is performed in a comprehensive 3D solids CAD environment with tight revision control for all mechanical and packaging components. Typical prototype fabrication time is 2-3 weeks on both sheet metal and CNC fabrication. Stereo lithography is used to create master molds of free-formed plastic parts which are produced using polyurethane resins and silicon mold casting techniques. These parts are reinforced when needed with metal inserts in the casing process. If production above 1000 units is required, injection mold tooling investments are made. This approach allows high quality, quick turn-around production of metal and plastics without the expense or delay of injection mold tooling. However, these techniques are cost effective for medium quantity production up to 50 units per month.
MaxVision uses the latest standard motherboards, video cards, and hard drives in all of its portable designs. Certain printed circuit boards are custom designed by MaxVision to consolidate integration functions and interconnects relating to LCD display control, audio, and power supply systems. These designs are performed by MaxVision engineers and prototyped using quick turn fabrication and assembly within MaxVision. Volume production is then turned over to PCB assembly subcontractors in the area.
MaxVision routinely provides semi-custom modifications to standard products such as OEM logos and simple modifications needed to support special add-in cards and interconnects. Special transit case design is also provided to meet the special needs of customers. These semi-custom modifications require minimal volume commitments and can typically be delivered in less than 30 days. You should consider MaxVision for your next platform if you are an applications-specific integrator, software business dealing with the portable video or data acquisition and analysis markets, or have a particular military or intelligence mission needing a entirely new product.
MaxVision is your best partner for custom design and production of portable computing platforms and devices. You will be impressed how fast the process can move and how reasonable the commitment can be. Call us today at 256.772.3058 and talk to our sales and engineering staff.
