Manufacturing Solutions
Custom Design and Engineering
Our team has extensive engineering experience designing, annalyzing and qualifying photonics and electronics products.
Custom Manufacturing Services
We partnered with capable Asian machining providers to deliver high-quality, low-cost thermal solutions globally.
Client 1
Designed a compact thermoelectric water chiller for physical therapy services. The 3D rendering of our Aquilo-202 was the bases for the client’s products.
Client 2
Client wanted one of our standard products and subsequently found that it was not optimum for their needs. Our brief discussions of possible options impressed our client and we were given the responsibility of developing an all custom highly integrated solution. The pictures at the left is the final product — it consists of high density machined fins, embedded heatpipes and complex structural features. It is about 2’ x 1’ x .5’.
Client 3
Client wanted to use one of our products as building blocks for a modular system with multiple laser modules that operate at slightly different temperatures to obtain desired spectrum of outpur wavelengthes. We designed the system with our standard components and procedures to meet the customer need, and made it easily configurable by the users to tune the wavelength of each laser.
Client 4
Client wanted an integrated module with both temperature stablized lasers and uncooled lasers, along with fiber management space and features. We leveraged our standard products to meet the design requirements with minimal NRE and short lead time.
Thermal & CNC Engineering
Custom high fin density heatsinks or complex CNC machined components with integrated fins that are made use any or any combination of the following process
- High fin density extrusion
- Zipper fins
- Edge cut machined fins
- Folded fins
- Skived fins
Advanced Liquid Cooling Systems
Custom high performance liquid cooling solutions that employ the following processes:
- Gun drilled coolant channels
- Conventional pressed-in or bonded tubes
Embedded Heatpipe Integration
Heatpipes embedded within the components listed above, either soldered or bonded securely in place to ensure optimal thermal transfer and structural stability. These integration methods are carefully selected based on application requirements, enabling efficient heat dissipation, improved performance, and long-term reliability across demanding operating conditions.
Consulting Services
Your Trusted
Business Partner
Whether you are assessing the risks of a potential investment, or trying to understand the market in which we operate, or need help assessing the feasibility of a complex opto- electronics systems, or diagnose product failures and develop resolutions, you can count on the team at ETE to fill the critical void as the last piece of a puzzle.
Businesses
- Help investors evaluate the viability or potential of early stage companies in photonics or electronics industry
- Provide consolidated information on industry trends, market segmentation, and the direction of technology development
- Bridge the gap between western business and asian manufacturers from both language and technical aspects
Engineering
- Design feasibility and architecture development of electronics and photonics systems
- Guide clients’ engineering analysts analyzing the structural and thermal performance of design concepts to minimize errors, cut costs and cut time to market
- Diagnose product failures, identify root causes and develop effective remedies that minimize the cost of redesign and product retro-fit.
Sample Clients
- Client 1: Guided the packaging architecture development and oversaw the detail design effort of an advanced HUD (Head Up Display). Performed thermal design of the PCAs and overall package. Prototyped the design and validated the thermal design and simulation results.
- Client 2: A state-of-the-art lighting product was in pilot production when our client discovered low yield and design issues. We were called in to diagnose the issues and recommend optimum resolutions. We resolved the problems with minimal impact to production flow and improved yield from less than 70% to over 95%.
- Client 3: Client discovered vibration failures in delivered products. We reviewed the design, identified the root cause, recommended minor design changes that solved the vibration failure issue with minimal cost and minimal impact to product delivery .
