Getting Connected with the Center for Product Research and Development
Whether you need to manufacture a limited number of plastic parts or develop a prototype product, the CPRD project teams make the process simple and easy.
Providing objective advice, the Center offers a congenial atmosphere in which business people are free to establish special support systems and networks. It is noted for its ability to couple the scientific and technical capabilities with the individualized practical needs of a manufacturer or inventor. It’s as easy as one, two, three.
The first step in the process is for you to put your project into focus by gathering and organizing your project’s concepts, requirements and details. The information can be in the form of hand written notes or sketches.
The second step is to contact the Center and schedule a time to meet with a CPRD staff member to discuss your project. Our CPRD staff can quickly determine the resources you will need and where to find them. If our facilities and equipment are not a good match, we probably know where to direct you to go through our network of resources.
The third step is to work with a CPRD project team on your project. The CPRD staff will assemble a project team of faculty and students to work with you to complete your project.
