Development partnership for technical solutions
From the idea to the finished product Proactive development support
For us, every development begins with a vision - your vision. Our aim is to support and optimise your ideas, from the early design phase to market maturity.
Through the use of advanced computer-aided engineering (CAE) technologies and thanks to the expertise of our experienced application engineers, a large proportion of the component optimisation is already realised virtually. This results in precise predictions in the injection moulding process, which make a significant contribution to increasing efficiency and minimising errors. Our proactive development support saves you time and money, while simultaneously increasing product quality.
Development package Expertise, right from the start
Use of Computer Aided Engineering (CAE)
Our experienced application engineers use advanced computer-aided engineering (CAE) tools to realise a large proportion of the component optimisation virtually. This process allows us to achieve the best possible product in an efficient manner:
- Filling simulation
The filling simulation identifies critical mass accumulations in the design, enabling a reduced use of materials. This not only contributes to a mould design that is suitable for injection moulding, but also protects the environment. - Shrinkage and warpage calculation
The shrinkage and warpage calculation is a standard part of our CAE package. It enables us to take precautions in the injection mould to avoid shrinkage-related problems at a later stage. - Documentation of parameters for process reliability
The meticulous documentation of all process parameters ensures consistent quality and promotes process reliability during production.
Preliminary analyses such as filling simulations and shrinkage and warpage calculations enable us to significantly reduce follow-up costs and shorten development times.
Feasibility analysis Plastic-compatible design
Our comprehensive services begin with a detailed feasibility analysis, which ensures that each design is not only realisable, but also optimally tailored for production.
Project support Construction and material selection
We offer support in the plastic-compatible design and optimisation of components. In addition, we assist in the selection of suitable materials, also taking into account specific application requirements and material approvals.
Precision prototyping
The fast creation of prototypes is guaranteed thanks to rapid prototyping and 3D printing technologies. These methods enable realistic tests and quick adjustments before the final tool is created. Our prototyping processes guarantee the optimum functionality and cost-effectiveness of your products before they move into series production.
Of course, 0/pre-series with aluminium tools or the replacement of tool inserts in existing master moulds are also feasible - please contact us to discuss. We find an optimal solution for every requirement.
Metal substitution Focus on weight and costs
The substitution of metal with high-performance plastics plays a central role, especially in mechanical engineering. Our customers experience significant advantages through the use of engineering plastics. One of the outstanding features is the significant weight reduction, which can be by as much as 60%. Furthermore, replacing metal with plastic not only offers cost benefits, but also enables increased design flexibility and improved component handling.
