Thermal & Mechanical design
Atherm’s design office is able to propose innovative solutions, calculate and dimension thermal & cooling systems according to customer’s requests. Our calculation and simulation tools have been improved and correlated for more than 20 years of “real life” testing, prototyping and mass production experience.
Atherm also cooperates with R & D academic institutions and participates to collaborative projects granted by European Commission. Thanks to academic research and industrial experience, we can offer you the right thermal answer for serial production with the reactivity of a small structure .
Prototype
Mock up, demonstrators and prototypes are all achieved in our workshop then qualified in connection with customer’s design team.
Mass production & validation
Once products are qualified, mass production is launched in our French facilitiy. A dedicated production line equipped with test benches is built for you.
If necessary, each single part is tested according to customer’s specifications with our specifically designed & manufactured test benches.
