• Concepts to Design
With our vast experience in both mechanical and electrical design, manufacturing, marketing and our links to a wide variety of industries, ARAD can assist you in taking your new product ideas from the initial concept to the final design.

• Rapid Prototyping
To aid in your new product design ARAD can supply Rapid Prototyping using Stereo lithography (SLA), Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), 3D Printing using ABS plastic, Urethane Castings and Sheet Metal.

• Re-fine/modifying Existing Products
Along with taking ideas from concept to design we at ARAD can use our expertise to take your existing products to a new level using new materials, new technologies and new manufacturing processes.

• Innovative Solutions
If your company has a problem with a current project or design, we at ARAD can help you find innovative, cost effective solutions.

Product Development

• Rapid Prototyping
ARAD offers a complete suite of tools to support your product design. These tools include: Rapid Prototyping using Stereo lithography (SLA), Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), and 3D Printing using ABS plastic, Urethane Castings and Sheet Metal.

• Pilot program and Beta testing
If you have a new product, ARAD can create and coordinate a pilot program, whereupon we beta test the product according to your specifications or the specifications we jointly develop.

• Cost Analysis and Management
Using our expertise we can help manage the entire product development process as well as conducting manufacturing-related cost analysis. In our report, we suggest ways to produce your product in a more cost effective manner.

• Feasibility Studies
With our links to multiple industries in both the US and Asia we can analyze the feasibility of producing your product or developing your idea in many countries, vastly increasing your alternatives.

Menu of Services

• 3-D Modeling/drafting
We can provide design and documentation services for both new and existing products using a number of today’s most popular 3D Solid Modeling, Analysis and Drafting packages.

• Rapid Prototyping
To aid in your new product design ARAD can supply Rapid Prototyping using Stereo lithography (SLA), Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), 3D Printing using ABS plastic, Urethane Castings and Sheet Metal.

• Design and Product Testing
At ARAD we can use our industrial experience to assist in designing and developing your product. Once the prototype product is made, we can coordinate and conduct rigorous testing.

• Training
ARAD can also provide training services. The training program is tailored to your specific needs, regardless the origin of the products and technologies. Send us your needs and we will tell you how we can help.

Case Studies

Case Study 1:

One of the early products developed by ARAD was the Moonshine and the Moonshine Magnum. These products were developed for a major aquatic product distributor and are currently sold to marine/reef aquarists worldwide.

The design intent was to create a light source that provides artificial moonlight to the reef aquarium. The light emitted simulates natural moonlight and promotes photosynthesis, healthy feeding and reproductive behavior in the life cycle of invertebrates and other marine organisms.

Responding to the client needs, ARAD was able to realize the design objectives in a compact, convenient and cost effective device using our design expertise and state of the art LED technology. The finished products were then produced by ARAD at its US based facility.

Case Study 2:

ARAD was asked if its LED moonlight technology could be retro-fitted to be housed in metal halide fixtures. The design requirement from the customer was to provide ARAD’s Moonlight technology in a structure that will withstand the extremely high temperature found inside metal halide assemblies.

There was no comparable product in existence and attempts by other designers were unsuccessful. Drawing its expertise in metal design, ARAD designs a LED light encased in a sleek metal housing. The product becomes very popular as this is the industry’s first successful and production-ready combination of metal halide and LED lights. To date there is still not a product out there like it.

 

Case study 3:

ARAD was the first company to create an LED based under cabinet light using a single Luxeon LED source
