Michael Murphy has been a great resource for our small company! Being able to expand our engineering capability when necessary by adding Michael to the team helps keep us lean, agile, and responsive. Michael's input has been especially valuable during new product development.
I have worked with the Access Engineering team on several critical projects over the past 7 years. Each time, I was able to share simple sketches to start the process, and the team quickly returned with conceptual CAD that permitted deeper discussions and distillation of the design to prototypes.
We have known and worked with the principal MEs at Access Engineering for several years and are always impressed with the quality of work, responsiveness, and commitment. They provided us with the required CAD design, FEA analysis, and engineering documentation required to complete our programs in time while meeting our very demanding technical specifications.
