From design to production — and what comes after
Stages 01–04 form one continuous thread. Take a single stage or the whole path. Stage 05, training and technical due diligence, can be commissioned on its own.
Thermal Design
We design the path heat takes from source to ambient. The earlier we join, the more options remain on the table.
Scope
- Thermal budget per major IC package and heat source, with power density allocation
- Resistance network design across conduction, spreading, convection, and radiation
- Component selection: heat pipe, vapor chamber, graphite sheet, heat sink, TIM (cure-in-place, pad, PCM), phase-change material
- Fan and blower specification, air path design
- Skin temperature compliance design
- Alternative comparison under thickness, weight, and cost constraints
Deliverables
- Thermal design concept report
- Component specifications and preliminary BOM
- Trade-off comparison matrix
- Design guideline document
Thermal Simulation
Verify the design before building it. For the cost and time of one prototype, simulation lets you compare dozens of parameter combinations.
Scope
- Detailed thermal model build and simplification from 3D CAD
- Steady-state temperature distribution analysis
- Transient analysis — peak load response and throttling behavior
- Natural and forced convection CFD with flow distribution review
- Detailed PCB modelling with multi-layer copper trace ratio, and interface (TIM) contact resistance
- Design parameter sensitivity study and optimization
- Test correlation and model calibration against measured data
Deliverables
- Simulation report (temperature field, flow field, heat flow paths)
- Sensitivity results and design improvement proposals
- Correlation results and calibrated model
- All native simulation model files
Prototyping
Confirm the simulation in hardware. Low-volume, short-lead-time fabrication through our partner network, with measurement included.
Scope
- Prototype drawings and fabrication specifications
- Partner sourcing — stamping, die casting, extrusion, CNC, diffusion bonding
- Vapor chamber and heat pipe prototype build and performance check
- Assembly and TIM application condition setup
- Thermal resistance and temperature measurement, IR thermography
- Deviation analysis against simulation and design feedback
Deliverables
- Physical prototypes
- Dimensional and visual inspection report
- Thermal performance measurement report
- Simulation correlation results
Mass Production Support
Making prototype performance survive volume production. This is where most programmes actually fail, and the cause is almost always uncontrolled process variables.
Scope
- Supplier sourcing, capability assessment, and process audit
- Production CTQ definition — TIM dispense volume and bond line thickness, assembly clamping pressure, brazing profile, vacuum sealing conditions
- Process FMEA and control plan development
- Process capability (Cp/Cpk) targets for key characteristics
- Reliability test planning — thermal shock, temperature humidity, vibration, drop
- First-run attendance and early yield improvement
Deliverables
- Supplier assessment report
- Process FMEA and control plan
- Process condition standard
- Reliability test report
- First-run issue log and corrective actions
Training & Technical Due Diligence
For when you want the capability to stay in-house, or you need to judge someone else's technology. We transfer the criteria rather than doing the work for you.
Scope
- Thermal design and simulation training — fundamentals, component selection criteria, hands-on analysis
- In-house design guidelines and stage-gate review checklists
- Simulation tool advisory — selecting the right tool for your segment and getting it adopted
- Supplier capability audit — design, simulation, process capability, and quality system
- Technical due diligence for investment or acquisition — thermal competitiveness and hidden risks
- Patent and technical asset review, design-around advisory
Deliverables
- Training materials and exercises (reusable in-house)
- In-house thermal design guideline
- Stage-gate review checklist
- Due diligence report — strengths, risks, recommendations
- Supplier assessment matrix
Deliverables belong to you
Native simulation models, drawings, specifications, and calculation sheets are all handed over. No technical lock-in — you should be able to run the next derivative programme without us.
