"We had used a slew of other engineers who had worked on our product concept that needed to be reduced to an actual design. These other engineers were using "brute force" mechanical design and were unsuccessful. Creative Engineering was the first engineering team to understand how to design a mechanism that was reliable and would function to the specifications and environment that we needed.

The senior-level engineers at Creative Engineering make a great team. Paul brought to bear the whole theoretical knowledge and Will had incredible mechanical insight on how to develop a mechanism for what the product needed to do. The combination was outstanding. They knew what I was trying to do and how to execute it.

What really made this work was the combination of engineers who brought a unique mix of mechanical intuition and theoretical engineering to enable the reduction to practice (getting the system to work) and develop the right mechanism in the right package at the right cost.

I wish we were able to work with them some more.

Creative Engineering dealt very well with design controls - design input and output, documenting design compromises, validation - these are key issues in a design program."

"When I have an idea for a new product I turn to Creative Engineering to design the product to ensure it works. And they don't just copy an existing product - they improve the product.

I've been using Creative Engineering for over three years. When I give them a project I don't have to worry about it - I know it will be done right. Since their designs work, they can go right into production. I don't need to double check them during the design process which frees up my time to worry about something else.

Creative Engineering has also been invaluable in the planning and development phase. We build a lot of molds in China, so we have importing issues and regulations. Creative Engineering found out about production standards to ensure their designs met the standards and there were no surprises during production or distribution. They've also provided input to help us with patent issues."

"What sets Creative Engineering heads and shoulders above other design engineering firms is that they understand the next step - production. They design things so you can make them.

Creative Engineering always has in mind what we need for tooling and production - many people can design products but they're not always moldable or producible. Creative Engineering is different. They realize what is needed to make a design production-friendly. It might look great too, but he goes beyond aesthetics - to ensure it's producible.

Creative Engineering contributes enormously during the development process. We utilize them to capture the overall concepts that we have put together with our clients and assemble it into a workable format. Adding Creative Engineering's mechanical ideas to the concepts we've come up has produced excellent results. Creative Engineering always takes our ideas to the next level.

I choose to work with Creative Engineering because they understand manufacturing and are easy to communicate with. Paul Dowd, the principal of the company, is unique and he's very, very bright. Paul is also a great leader so he brings out the best in the people who work for him.

On a scale of one to ten - Creative Engineering always delivers a ten!"

"When we employed Creative Engineering to develop a toy for Brainwave, they not only met our requirements but also went above and beyond our expectations.

What sets Creative Engineering apart is their ability to combine the skillful use of PRO/E software with a real understanding of the manufacturing process - to develop elegant solutions to design problems.

Creative Engineering streamlines the process and reduces time and design cost. Their software creates the prototype through stereolithography to allow clients to see and evaluate the design, then the same file is sent to manufacturer for production using computer aided manufacturing technology."

"Creative Engineering's designs are manufacturable. As plastics injection molders, we have found that designs from some engineers are often not manufacturable - but this is never an issue with Creative Engineering.

Creative Engineering streamlines the manufacturing process. Beyond their manufacturing-friendly designs, they are very efficient and very thorough in their assessment of a project and what needs to be done. At the concept point, their better understanding of what's needed for manufacturing makes everything go smoother."
