We believe our people are our best assets. We have assembled a team of gifted engineers with a relentless dedication to the safety of children. Our engineers are committed to designing easy-to-use solutions that are strong and can withstand the wear and tear of every day life. This is because we are more than just engineers - we are also moms, dads, aunts and uncles.

The IMMI Engineering team's experience and technical knowledge enables us to serve global customers with innovative, focused project deployment and solutions on complex opportunities. Complete system sled testing, component mechanical and environmental testing, and a state-of-the-art prototype shop are just some of IMMI's capabilities serving our customers needs. Whether the need is for new products or component designs, testing, application or prototype opportunities, IMMI works closely with our customers to develop quality products that "Bring Safety to People."

IMMI's Product Development Engineering teams lead the development of innovative component or system design for the child industry. Our team is skilled with industry leading design and testing tools and demonstrates technical expertise in order to develop the products of the future. No matter what the program management size or scope, our skilled engineers will provide the necessary tools and resources to design the highest quality, safest product on a timely basis

As part of IMMI's full service engineering capabilities, IMMI's Application / Product Engineers continue to work with our customers beyond initial product conception. With product innovation as a primary objective, they provide continual product enhancements and new product or component designs. IMMI's Application / Product Engineers utilize industry leading design and testing tools and possess the technical expertise which allow them to provide our customers with long-term product application solutions

Our CADCAM capabilities compliment the experience and the technical excellence of our engineering staff. We use Ideas NX and UG NX to develop 3D solid models of all our products in development, manage our current product, and control product revision within the same framework.

Ideas and UG are fully associative such that NC programming for prototype parts are completely associated to the developing product represented by 3D solid models. As the product changes or with further development the associated NC programming updates as well.

With the combination of our engineering staff and our CADCAM the development process we use at IMMI minimizes development and iteration time while maximizing overall product development productivity

IMMI' s CAPE testing facility uses software such as LS Dyna, MSC/MARC, and Madymo to conduct structural analysis and occupant kinematics. These tools allow us to work with our customers to develop components or systems with reduced development time. This process results in lead time reductions for getting new products to market. For more information on IMMI's CAPE testing facility, please see the CAPE testing website.

Prototyping is a strong and a technically advanced internal resource. Using a blend of traditional prototyping processes and rapid prototyping, the Prototype Shop supports Engineering and Product Development with both early conceptual models and fully functioning testable/destructible prototypes.

The Prototype Shop is staffed with highly skilled Prototype Makers and they are complimented with highly advanced "state of the art" equipment. The technologies represented in the shop include high speed machining of metal and plastic, high speed graphite cutting, CNC EDM, Wire EDM, CNC bending, CNC lathing, and fully associated CADCAM.

The Rapid Prototyping offering includes SLA, SLS, urethane casting, and metal casting. These prototypes are used conceptually and can be finished for "photo realistic" customer samples.

Our prototyping capabilities are designed to be accurate, fast, and diverse in prototyping methods. In house prototyping in concert with IMMI's other committed resources further provides a reduction in the development cycle.
