Our Services

Engineering support across design, prototyping, manufacturing, documentation, and project management.

01 —
2D Drawings
GD&T-compliant technical drawings for metal, plastic, and assembly components — ready for machining, tooling, and vendor quoting.
02 —
3D Design & Modeling
Parametric CAD models and assemblies built with attention to fit, aesthetics, and downstream manufacturability.
03 —
Concept Design
Structured ideation from napkin sketch to refined CAD concepts — multiple directions explored and evaluated against your real-world constraints.
04 —
Hardware Selection
Fasteners, connectors, actuators, bearings, and COTS components selected for function, lifecycle, and cost.
05 —
Clearance & Interference Analysis
Systematic tolerance stack-up and 3D interference checks across all mating surfaces to find fit issues early, before production.
06 —
Manufacturing Process Planning
Process selection, routing, and DFM analysis so your design translates to the factory floor efficiently and cost-effectively.
07 —
Production Preparation
Complete production-ready packages — manufacturing drawings, BOMs, tooling guidance, supplier onboarding, and QC criteria handoff.
08 —
Quality Control Activities
Incoming inspection plans, in-process checkpoints, and final acceptance criteria to maintain specification compliance throughout production.
09 —
Prototype Assembly
Hands-on prototype build coordination and assembly support — from early EVT units through DVT and PVT, managed build by build.
10 —
Prototype Testing, Reporting & Assessment
Structured test plans, execution, data collection, and formal assessment reports — verifying performance against specification at every build phase.
11 —
Engineering Documentation
Preparation of complete engineering documentation packages — specifications, test reports, design history files, and product records.
12 —
DFMEA
Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis — systematic identification of potential design failures, their effects, and risk mitigation actions.
13 —
PFMEA
Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis — evaluating manufacturing process risks before they impact product quality or production efficiency.
14 —
Project Management
End-to-end project coordination, stakeholder communication, milestone scheduling, risk tracking, and process organization for complex hardware programs.
How We Work

Our Engineering Process

Structured, transparent, and built around your product goals — not a rigid framework that ignores your reality.

01
Discovery & Requirements
Deep-dive into your goals, constraints, performance specs, and timeline. We align on what success looks like before the first line is drawn.
02
Concept Design
Multiple design directions explored, evaluated, and refined — rapid sketching through parametric CAD with DFM considerations from day one.
03
Engineering & Detailing
Full 3D models, GD&T drawings, BOM, material specs, clearance/interference checks, and DFMEA for every critical interface.
04
Prototype, Test & Report
Coordinated prototype builds, structured test execution, data analysis, and formal assessment reports tied to product requirements.
05
Production Handoff
Manufacturing-ready packages with drawings, PFMEA, QC plans, supplier documentation, and full engineering records for compliance.

Why Choose AHL Labs

The AHL Labs Difference

We're not a generalist agency. We're an engineering team embedded in your product — thinking like founders, executing like engineers.

Typically

Design, DFM, testing, and documentation split across separate vendors, with you coordinating between them.

01

Full-Spectrum Capability

From concept sketch to production documentation — design, DFM, FMEA, testing, and coordination handled by one team that knows your product end-to-end.

Typically

The design gets finished first, then goes to a factory that sends it back for a redesign.

02

Manufacturability First

Every design decision is made with the factory in mind. Engineering for real processes from the very first concept helps avoid costly redesigns.

Typically

A shop that knows one material class and steers every part toward it.

03

Multi-Material Experience

Metals, plastics, and textiles — hands-on experience with how each behaves in production informs the trade-off decisions for your product.

Typically

FMEA and QC planning bolted on at the end, once the risks are already designed in.

04

Quality & FMEA Built In

DFMEA and PFMEA built into the workflow — not added at the end. Structured QC planning helps your product meet spec before it reaches market.

Typically

Status arrives when you chase it, and problems surface late.

05

Transparent Communication

No black boxes. You always know where the project stands — what's done, what's at risk, and what needs your input. One point of contact, full visibility.

Typically

Fixed packages that assume you need the whole program or nothing.

06

Flexible Engagement

From a focused DFMEA review to a full R&D partnership — we scope engagements to where you are in the product journey, pre-seed or scaling to production.

One team, one point of contact, from first concept to production handoff.
