While solving engineering challenges is a multidisciplinary endeavour, it’s not always viable for companies to have in-house experts covering every specialism.
nC2 can bridge that gap, working alongside you to provide the knowledge and advice you need in a cost-effective way.
We’ll hand-pick the right subject matter expert, either from our highly skilled team or our wider network of specialists, enabling you to move forward with confidence.
Whether acting as a helpline for occasional technical questions, more in-depth involvement across a project’s lifespan, or something in between, we can tailor a package to suit you.
So if you know what you want to achieve but need some help to get there, get in touch for a free consultation.
How we can help
We offer expertise across the spectrum of materials science and tribology, including failure analysis, problem solving, product design optimisation and materials selection, all in the strictest confidence.
For example we can:
- Become a virtual member of your team for a fixed period, to help with a specific aspect of a project or problem.
- Provide ad hoc telephone or virtual scientific/technical advice when you need it.
- Support your staff at meetings where scientific topics are under discussion, either internally or with external suppliers/clients.
- Visit your site to examine in-service issues, production processes etc, and identify solutions.
- Interpret test data or other scientific information into plain English and advise on its significance.
- Advise on the right tests for your project and identify which service is best placed to run them (for routine or high-volume tests it might be more cost effective to use an external test house).
- Liaise with test houses or other services/experts on your behalf.
- Set test specifications with test houses and co-ordinate sample preparation and delivery.
- Source highly specialist services, such as hazardous materials testing.
