Engineering Consulting & Prototyping
Partner with AHS to transform concepts into prototypes and field-tested assemblies through rapid development, expert guidance, and small-batch production support.
Accelerate Your Product Development Lifecycle
From early-stage concept to pilot-ready hardware, Advanced Hermetic Solutions supports engineering teams with the expertise and infrastructure needed to validate hermetic designs. Our integrated consulting and prototyping services reduce iteration cycles and ensure success during process transfer and scale-up.
- Custom prototypes for ceramic-to-metal and sapphire-to-metal assemblies
- Rapid brazing development and small-batch vacuum furnace runs
- Material stack-up analysis and seal optimization
- Fixture design and part holding consultation for brazing consistency
- Design for manufacturability (DFM) and tolerance feedback for complex geometries
- Thermal modeling and seal area stress mitigation strategies
- Cleanroom-compatible handling for medical and optical packages
Whether you're qualifying a new material, building proof-of-concept packages, or testing thermal compatibility, our team ensures your prototype is built to perform—and ready to scale.
How We Support Your Team
- Design Reviews: We evaluate your drawings, 3D models, and tolerance specs to identify risks and improvement areas.
- Feasibility Builds: Prototyping begins with fixture setup, material prep, and small-batch assembly in our vacuum brazing line.
- Process Refinement: Through iterative builds, we adjust joint geometry, process temps, or sealing methods to meet specs.
- Documentation: You'll receive build travelers, leak test results, and process parameters to support future scaling.
- Transfer Readiness: We help prepare for production—whether you manufacture in-house or outsource the process.
Common Prototyping Applications
- Sensor headers with hermetic feedthroughs
- Sapphire-windowed viewports for optoelectronic instruments
- Ceramic housings for implantable or aerospace devices
- Miniature brazed subassemblies for inertial sensors
- Custom enclosures for pressure and thermal cycling testing
