Our Design Capabilities
From designing the propulsion filter to testing samples, we can provide validation data on your filtration solution of choice.
Application Engineering – Need consultation on your design? Our team of application engineers are ready to help you determine the right textile filters for your design. With decades of experience working with the world’s largest technical and performance brands, we’re eager to solve complex problems with you.
Customer Innovation Center – We enjoy working with customers on complex projects. In fact, we’ve dedicated an entire facility to it. Want to join us for various lab testing and engineering consultation sessions? Join us at our Customer Innovation Center in Connecticut to develop a solution for your unique application. Mott isn’t just your trusted porous filter supplier; we strive to be your long-term partner as you undertake cutting-edge projects. We will be by your side through every step of the process to improve outcomes with our innovative, high-end filtration solutions.
Rapid Prototyping Cell – Trying to determine the feasibility of your propulsion filter design as fast as possible? Use our rapid prototyping cell to turn around prototypes in as little as 2 weeks. Our engineers will work with equipment similar to our manufacturing facility to provide you with a manufacturable, economical design.
Additive Manufacturing – If you’re looking for the most uniform porosity or a non-traditional design, look no further than working with out porous 3D printing team. We can create controlled porosity designs with various density gradients in non-traditional shapes to satisfy the most unique design request. Our technology allows us to print parts with both solid and porous in a single print cycle.
Relevant Services
Design Expertise – Do Mott’s current filtration products – such as our hydrazine filters – not quite meet your project’s needs? Contact us, regardless! We will find something that works for you. From start to finish, we customize propulsion solutions based on your design parameters – challenge us!
Fluid Modeling – Our extensive applications have built a library of data to increase the accuracy of our flow models to provide initial performance and feasibility estimates prior to building prototypes. Failed tests of inadequately designed or manufactured space propulsion filter systems can be extremely costly to your operation, not to mention hazardous to your staff. Mott’s cutting-edge fluid modeling capabilities and vast data allow us to get it right in the design phase so you can be confident that even initial testing on your custom propellant filters will deliver high-quality results.
Extensive Partner Network – If a material is not listed or capability not in-house, we maintain an extensive network of partners for new material procurement, advanced manufacturing capabilities, and validation testing. A fully customized space propulsion filter system often requires diverse expertise and input from a variety of sources. Mott’s filtration experts pride themselves on not only being a reputable porous filter supplier but an industry leader capable of bringing together the right team to create top quality, end-to-end filtration solutions.
