The experts at HDW have assisted various DOD divisions with the design, analysis, testing, and fabrication of military hardware and support equipment. Our main specialty is working with mechanical-based systems such as automated machinery, test equipment, special tools, and military hardware. We also specialize in electric, hydraulic and pneumatic systems.
 
We work directly with DOD engineers and departments in determining the special requirements for a new product or system. HDW then can develop conceptual 3D computer models to determine space claim, scale, function, dynamic animation, weight and aesthetics.
 
HDW uses the latest software in 3D modeling as well Finite Element Analysis. With F.E.A., we can determine mechanical and thermal stresses in complex parts and assemblies. These capabilities can be useful to help certify structures for safety, durability and overall performance. Learn more about F.E.A here.
