World-Class Indoor and Outdoor Facilities
At TEC, Exponent scientists and engineers work across technical disciplines to ensure that your product or prototype meets safety and compliance standards — and delights your customers.
Our 147-acre facility is designed for large-scale testing and experiments.
TEC offers a combination of specialized test and prototyping equipment with reconfigurable test areas and instrumentation.
Outdoors, TEC maintains a vehicle proving ground and full-scale crash facility. Inside, you'll find nearly 27,000 square feet of high-bay space, used to evaluate everything from sports equipment to large-format electric vehicle batteries.
In addition to pure test and evaluation, TEC facilities support part and product prototyping with extensive "direct-from-digital" mechanical and electrical fabrication tools — complemented by dedicated design and assembly areas. We also use the facility to support short turn/small lot production, as projects require.
