WHO IS COVE DESIGN?

I founded Cove in 2018 as an engineering-focused product development consultancy with a focus on accelerating development programs. 


I like to help product companies quickly visualize solutions to help your team understand the tradeoffs in different designs.

 

I can work with surfaces in CAD to explore ID concepts, while designing internal components (PCBAs, batteries, keypads, mechanisms etc) for manufacturing and assembly. With over 10+ years of Solidworks experience, I can jump in quickly and help move your program forward.

With experience and a deep network of manufacturers both in the US and China, I can estimate BOM costs early and confidently for low-mid-high volume production. This manufacturing network allows me to build prototypes quickly for testing and improving designs.

I'm also consulting on Additive Manufacturing techniques in prototyping and production. How can you use this technology?
What do all the technology acronyms mean: SLS, FDM, SLA, DMLS, LFS, CLIP, PJ, FFF,...etc? How should you pick which to use?

Let's discuss how I can help you win!

Call me, I'm always looking for new ways to help.
