INFINIUM Design Studio - Advanced Architectural Solutions
Advanced Architectural Solutions
Architectural design and construction require a combination of aesthetic appeal, functionality, and reliability. At the heart of these innovations is the INFINIUM Design Studio, where our engineers are dedicated to developing top-tier solutions and technologies that are shaping the industry. As INFINIUM grows, we continue to invest in this talented team who are driving our mission forward with their capabilities and resourcefulness.
Testing and Quality Assurance
Ensuring the reliability and safety of our architectural components is crucial. In the Design Studio, our Engineering team implements rigorous testing to guarantee all our products meet INFINIUM quality standards.
- Tension Testing
We conduct rigorous testing on our millings, screws, hardware, extrusions, and installation processes to confirm the structural integrity of our products and ensure they perform effectively under stress. New hardware, including hinges, pivots, sliding mechanisms, and locking systems are continuously tested to ensure that each component meets our standards for durability and performance.
- Impact Testing
Impact testing involves subjecting the components of our systems to forces ranging from 300 to 700 pounds. This stringent testing process ensures that our products can withstand significant impact while maintaining their quality.
- Lifecycle Testing
We conduct extensive lifecycle testing to ensure the long-term viability of our products. This helps us identify any potential weaknesses and make necessary improvements to enhance endurance.
- Sound Testing
Acoustic performance is critical in the installation of our glass wall systems. Our sound testing procedures ensure that our products meet the necessary standards for noise reduction and sound insulation.
Mockups and Prototypes | Technological Innovations
The conceptualization of our innovative solutions is an essential step in the development process, allowing us to test and validate our designs before committing to full-scale production. Mockups in the early stages help us catch potential issues before they might arise in the field. Embracing technology is essential for staying ahead in the architectural industry — In the Design Studio, our Engineering team utilizes transformative equipment for optimum product development and testing.
- Lasers
Lasers are used to cut shims, spacer blocks, and gaskets for our hardware. This ensures compatibility, proper fit, and precise adjustment, enhancing the overall quality of our products.
- 3D Printing
3D printing is revolutionizing our R&D processes. We use 3D printers to create custom spacers, clamps for our mills, and mockup extrusions. This allows us to test and refine our designs before full-scale production, ensuring optimal performance and compatibility. Testing design and functionality of the components in a real-world scenario identifies any potential issues early in the development process. By identifying and mitigating potential field issues, we can streamline our processes and improve the overall performance of our products. This proactive approach helps us maintain the highest standards of quality and reliability.
- Troubleshooting
Field support and troubleshooting are major components of our service offering. Our Engineering team is committed to identifying and resolving any issues that may arise during installation or use. With mockups and prototypes, we can test and address critical areas such as drop seal engagement, opening and closing force, and hold-open functionality. Our team is equipped to handle any challenges that may arise, ensuring smooth and efficient operation and mitigation.
- Efficiencies and Process Improvement
Continuous improvement is at the heart of our operations. Through technology and innovation, we continue to find ways to enhance our processes and improve the efficiency of our products.
INFINIUM Design Studio stands at the forefront of architectural innovation, driven by a commitment to quality, rigorous testing, and continuous improvement. By integrating advanced technologies and maintaining a proactive approach to troubleshooting, we ensure that our products not only meet but exceed industry standards. Notably, our design studio has recently expanded our product offerings with curved walls, integrated mullions for Quantum, and 10" bottom rails for single and double-glazed doors, showcasing our dedication to pushing the boundaries of architectural design. As we look to the future, our dedication to excellence and innovation continues to shape the architectural landscape, delivering solutions that are both reliable and cutting-edge.
