Design your products with the right feel and maintain the right feel at every stage
Define a measurable haptic standard based on consumer preference, and keep to that intentional standard throughout development, sourcing, manufacturing, quality control, and release. Gain a competitive advantage and reduce your time to market with objective data you trust.
The perfect touch
With SynTouch®, you can objectively correlate touch with consumer preference, scientifically quantifying qualities like softness, luxe, and comfort. Avoid decisions based on past history, opinion, guesswork, or trial & error.
Stay on track
Control batch consistency and quality during manufacturing and across multiple vendors. Compare materials against one another and keep the desired feel when moving to different processes or alternate sources.
A customized solution for your application
Once we understand your application and the desired outcome, our haptic experts will develop the most effective SynTouch® solution. Send us your samples to test and compare. Lease or purchase a Toccare system of your own.
Typical workflow for a scientific decision on product feel

haptics
Scientifically measure and model the haptics of your material(s), mapping and analyzing each along the SynTouch® Standard 15 dimensions of touch.

Correlate to human
preferences
Determine human preferences with human sensory panels, precisely quantifying each haptics dimension and the properties that cause differences in preferences.
