Materials Engineering Capabilities

Materials Engineering is a science that requires a great deal of information about the many types of materials available for product development. WhiteLight Design is the answer to all of your Materials Engineering needs. We offer:

-   Testing
-   Materials Analysis
-   Materials Selection
-   Reverse Engineering
-   A Working Knowledge of Materials:

Materials Testing services range from standard ASTM testing to custom tests that uncover particular or unique problems. Our goal is to understand your product and the goals of the testing requested to reach conclusion on how to best solve a problem . This approach ensures that the right tests are performed for the right reason. Our Materials and Chemical Engineering Associates offer deep expertise in the time-dependent properties of polymers including; creep, stress relaxation and environmental behavior. Understanding materials science and material properties and behavioral characteristics is invaluable for addressing new product development and the product lifecycle and determining how extreme use, time, temperature and exposure affect it.  Our facilities and equipment include standard ASTM testing machines such as impact and tensile strength, environmental chambers and microscopic examination.

Testing services include:

• Failure Analysis
• Metrology
• Environmental Exposure
• Accelerated Testing
• Chemical Testing
• Degradation of Physical Properties
• Reverse Engineering
• Quality Assurance Programs
