HYTEC Inc., an ISO
9001:2000 certified company established in 1996, is an employee owned
corporation headquartered in Los
Alamos, New Mexico.
HYTEC grew from a small engineering consulting firm to a small business
leader thanks to a National Science Foundation award to build the most
advanced vibration isolation system in the world – the Laser
Interferrometric Gravitational wave Observatory (LIGO) measures laser
path perturbations in a 4 km long ultra high vacuum system, at a
sensitivity of 10-21 meters, or less than one-hundred-millionth the
diameter of a hydrogen atom. Unique isolation concepts and structural
analysis methods developed from LIGO have led to the development of new
business opportunities for the company.
Today, HYTEC is
comprised of three wholly owned subsidiaries: HYTEC Engineering Inc.
(HEI), HYTEC Sensors & Imaging Group (HYSIG), and HYTEC Scanning
Services Inc. (HSSI).
HEI provides
quality engineering design services for major projects in both the U.S. and
abroad. In the last three years, engineering and experimental expertise
has been strengthened and expanded in structural dynamics, thermal
mechanics, and advanced composite materials to meet the growing demand
for ultra-lightweight stable structures. These talents are now being
brought to bear for projects at Naval Research Laboratory, Applied
Physics Laboratory (Johns Hopkins), Cal Tech, MIT, Department of Energy
Laboratories, NASA, and other world-renowned institutions.
HYSIG’s
premier products started through close association with Los Alamos
National Laboratory on two Cooperative Research and Development
Agreements (CRADAs) – one, a Precision Real-time Instrument for
Surface Measurement (PRISM®); the other, a high-speed Computed Tomography
system (FlashCT®). Both products have been successfully commercialized
and are available from HYSIG. FlashCT and PRISM represent
state-of-the-art measurement systems that dramatically improve key
capabilities in non-destructive testing & evaluation (NDT&E),
reverse engineering & models based engineering (MBE) and the mass
production of customized parts (mass customization).
HSSI is the latest
addition to the HYTEC family. This group provides high-speed, X-ray
scanning services for customers preferring outsourcing to purchasing
capital equipment. HSSI was borne from HYTEC’s success working with
Align Technology, Inc., the world’s largest rapid prototyper.
FlashCT is accurate and fast. Reducing cycle times from hours to minutes
allows us to provide the best value to our customers.
