WORKING WITH GVD

Prototyping & Development Services

GVD offers onsite application development services at our Cambridge, MA location. Customers can ship their parts directly to our facility, to be processed by GVD’s team of skilled technicians and engineers. We work with products throughout multiple stages of development – from small quantities of R&D prototypes, to larger volumes for statistical analysis.

We typically follow a standardized process when it comes to working with new customers:

Stage 1: Assessment and Quotation

  • Get an NDA in place to freely exchange information
  • Customer provides drawings, and an overview of their application and prior coating challenges
  • GVD assesses fit and provides an initial quote for small quantity of representative samples

Stage 2: Coating Services

  • Customer ships samples to GVD for coating
  • Customer tests coated product against internally specified criteria

Stage 3: Feedback and Iteration

  • Customer provides feedback to GVD from the internal testing
  • GVD proposed changes and improvements for future trials
  • Process is iterated until an optimal material system is developed and validated

Stage 4: Scaling to Production

  • If applicable, volume pricing may be implemented
  • Commercial volume demonstration can be performed at GVD, then brought in-house via technology licensing

Technology Licensing & Production Equipment

Over the years, GVD has developed unique coating deposition methods and novel materials that have transformed processes and products across a number of industries. While our team of experts and trained technicians is available to process samples at our facility, production-scale coating volumes are often more feasible and cost effective when integrated into the customer’s existing manufacturing flow.

To serve this need, GVD offers the possibility of technology licensing, paired with production CVD equipment design and sales. GVD brings extensive experience packaging, transferring, and seamlessly incorporating GVD’s innovative technology and know-how into existing manufacturing processes and product portfolios within organizations, large and small.

Research Equipment

Research and development laboratories that perform and develop their own CVD materials can also benefit from GVD technology. We offer small scale, customizable R&D equipment that enables research centers to bypass the costly and time consuming process of developing a custom polymer chemical vapor deposition (CVD) system and get to experimenting right away.

Custom Coating Solutions

In addition to the existing portfolio of products, GVD has experience collaborating with businesses and various agencies to come up with unique solutions to their specific surface challenges via development projects. The coating solution may be an iteration of our commonly used material systems, or a completely custom chemistry, depending on project & customer requirements. Our scientists and engineers will work with you to help advance your products from the drawing board to commercial realization.
