That is the mantra inside the walls of Sigma Design Company,

where we believe our talents will play a part in moving USA manufacturing innovation forward. Our manufacturing knowledge, when combined with new engineering technologies, such as 3D printing and product simulation have helped us create successful designs for new ventures, single person innovators, large fortune 500 divisions and the military. Your ideas and our ability to bring them to life, will keep the US at the forefront of manufacturing and increased productivity.

Our beliefs are right in line with those of the NAM (National Association of Manufacturers), a group of over 11,000 manufacturing companies consisting of 12 million people who make things in America. The NAM advocates for policies that will keep the US competitive in the global marketplace.

In this email we share an excerpt from the NAM's 2016 outlook on research and innovation and the actions we leaders can take. 

A great example of innovation from a few years back. Sigma was approached by a Boston venture group who needed to develop a pilot renewable energy hydrokinetic electrical power generator system. It was a pivotal  milestone for the ventures funding and they needed this fully submerged run of river device in the water and producing electrical energy in 6 months from our first meeting. 

In addition to the accelerated timeline, the project provided us with

several other challenges. Most notably being the power generating electronics, hydrodynamic balancing, and marine submersion anti-fouling prevention. In the end we were successful in that the system was designed, manufactured and installed. In fact we understand that it is still running deep in the Mississippi River north of New Orleans.
