Fabrication Expert Witnesses
What is a fabrication expert witness?
Expert witness candidates in fabrication have a wide range of specialty experience, depending on the needs of the attorney and client. Fabrication is the construction of items from different parts using a range of semi-finished or raw materials such as metal, laminates, wood, and other solid surface materials. Fabrication expert witnesses often have advanced degrees in engineering (mechanical, materials, biomedical, electrical), construction, metallurgy, computer science, or art. Fabrication expert witnesses may be members of professional organizations such as the Fabricators and Manufacturer Association or the Association for Manufacturing Technology.
What types of cases require a fabrication expert witness?
Legal cases involving fabrication could include intellectual property, such as patent infringement cases or trade secret disputes. A fabrication subject matter expert might also provide litigation support for cases of workplace safety, workplace accidents, design or manufacturing defects, and/or assembly line processes.
What litigation support work might a fabrication expert witness be expected to perform?
Litigation support by a fabrication expert witness could include research and authoring expert reports, providing expert opinions, deposition testimony, and expert testimony at a trial. In a high-profile case, or litigation involving a significant financial stake, a law firm may request a fabrication expert with prior expert witness experience. In addition, clients may seek an energy expert for pre-litigation consulting work.

This expert has pioneered the design, fabrication, and testing of wireless devices for many years. As a senior scientist, this expert designed and oversaw the fabrication (from breadboard to microchip fabrication in a foundry) of a state-of-the-art two-way communications device. It was the first ever to operate successfully at high speed among speeding vehicles in an urban multipath environment (which is the bane of terrestrial RF devices).
This expert designed and oversaw the fabrication of (at that time) the smallest GPS device in the world. This expert oversaw the design and deployment of a one-cubic-inch full transceiver that communicated with a satellite. Unlike most practicing electrical engineers today, this expert is proficient in both RF and digital technologies, and has been teaching graduate school classes on these. This expert has been deposed more than 150 times, and has testified in Court on more than a dozen cases. This expert has been commended by a judge for the ability to explain complex topics to judges and juries in an intuitive manner. In addition, this expert "handheld" a jury through several lines of Source Code to show the jury that they could easily see themselves that the adverse party was infringing on a major patent. This expert holds a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, and Philosophy; an M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering; and a B.Sc. with highest honors.

This expert is President, CEO and Principal Engineer for a highly sought-after engineering consultancy. A Graduate Mechanical Engineer with many years of professional, domestic and international engineering system design & material defect analysis experience, this expert has been called upon to examine and investigate numerous design, fabrication and operational issues related to various processes being performed, items being fabricated and parts being produced in volumes and at rapid rates. These have included the designing and overseeing of the installation of 83 brand new production lines of machinery and equipment for the production of diapers and various feminine hygiene products. Additionally, this expert has investigated the assembly line and product defect failures associated with juice packet spout application failures which caused excessive product leakage and large storage issues. Such design and product assembly processes relied heavily on photoelectric cells, high speed counters, adjustable guideways and multiple mechanical assemblies that directed parts into specific positions in order to be mated up with other components all at excessively high speeds. These efforts ranged from the insert of the raw materials to the folded or packaged finished product ready for shipment. Over the course of this expert's years of design, fabrication, construction and project management work combined with years of mechanical investigation and testing experience, this expert has centered work around mechanical system and material component analyses. Retained by both national and international insurance organizations, plaintiff and defense law firms and private industry to perform mechanical equipment assessments and causation evaluations, this expert has extensive prior litigation history including deposition and courtroom testimony.
