Development and production of components and tool molds
for prototypes, small & large series

vlcsnap-2024-04-18-14h15m45s453.png

CONCEPT & STYLING

The development of a product begins with the idea.
This must be implemented in a functional concept that can be developed and implemented later.

Here we consider and evaluate not only the component itself, but also its interfaces with the assembly.

DESIGN IN CAD

We offer many years of experience in the production-oriented design of components and tool molds.

We support you in choosing the right material and the appropriate manufacturing process.

 

With our specific expertise in isotropic materials as well as fiber composite and plastic technologies, we ensure the best advice and quality.

CALCULATION & SIMULATION

Using FEA calculations and load determinations, we analyze and evaluate the fatigue strength of individual components.

In this way, we guarantee the development of high-quality products with maximum cost efficiency.

Technical DOCUMENTATION

For the subsequent production, we provide all necessary technical drawings, specifications, bills of materials, work instructions, material lists, and other relevant information.

With our comprehensive production documentation, we contribute to the efficiency of manufacturing processes and compliance with regulations and standards.

This ensures the final quality of the component.

Styling development

Design is more than just the aesthetic shaping of objects. Thoughtful design primarily considers the meaning, function, and purpose of the designed item.

The result will not only convince you visually but also technically:

  • Custom styling creation based on client requests

  • Translating design sketches into a CAD environment

  • Clay modeling in the workshop

  • Scanning real structures and creating data for further processing and production
