Flexure Research

High Performance Research & Development Teams

Flexure Engineering’s strategic approach provides Flexure Research with the opportunity to partner with scientists and engineers from the public and private sectors to create focused research teams. These FlexTeams concentrate on repackaging and repurposing an idea, concept, or research project into unique, potentially commercially profitable spin-off products.

For example, while working on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST,) the Flexure team was required to solve a unique problem taking laser radar measurements through a chamber window. Our solution was sufficient to allow JWST to continue testing and resulted in an award-winning paper. Flexure recognized the opportunity to apply this technology to the advancement of future telescopes and other equiptment that will be required in exploration of the moon and beyond in coming decades.  To exploit this opportunity, Flexure created a FlexTeam of Flexure engineers and consultants and submitted a winning NASA SBIR proposal. The team is currently doing research research to develop financially viable solutions that could be reused by other NASA, government or commercial programs.

If you have an opportunity you'd like to take advantage of, Flexure works with scientists and engineers from private businesses, government agencies and educational institutions to identify and acquire strategic business development and funding opportunities.
