Over the past 30 years, our clients have been so happy with our work that most have awarded us multiple additional projects. This has resulted in many key areas of expertise.

Enclosure Design

IDE can help you realize the functionality, look and feel that your product needs. Whether you are entering a new product development cycle, or you have an existing product that needs a visual update, IDE can help you make the critical decisions to make your enclosure design a success.

Add tremendous value to your product by taking advantage of our smart mechanism capabilities.



Ruggedized Products

Our expertise comes from years of designing products to meet various stringent industry and military standards. Whether it’s shock resistance, vibration isolation, water resistance, extreme temperatures, or some other harsh environment, we can design your product to survive.



Wearables and Handheld

With wearables and handhelds, it is critical to create many rounds of physical models and prototypes. You must create models and carefully observe different people holding, handling, and using them. Next, make improvements and repeat the process.

IDE’s human centered approach, combined with our extensive engineering and manufacturing capabilities, has resulted in an impressive portfolio of successful wearable and handheld product designs.
