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 goal is to support and optimize your ideas, from the early design phase to market maturity.
By using advanced computer-aided engineering (CAE) technologies and the expertise of our experienced application engineers, a large part of the component optimization is already realized virtually. This leads to precise predictions in the injection moulding process, which significantly contribute to increasing efficiency and minimizing errors. Our proactive development support saves you time and costs 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 virtually perform a large portion of component optimization. This process enables us to efficiently achieve the best possible product:
- Filling simulation
The filling simulation identifies critical mass accumulations in the design, enabling reduced material usage. This not only contributes to a mold 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 mold 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 feasible but also optimal for production.
Project support Part design and material selection
We offer support in the plastics-compatible design and optimization of components. In addition, we assist in the selection of suitable materials, taking specific application requirements and material approvals into account.
Precision prototyping
Rapid prototyping and 3D printing technologies ensure rapid prototype creation. These methods enable realistic tests and quick adjustments before the final tool is created. Our prototyping processes guarantee optimal functionality and cost-effectiveness of your products before they move into series production.
Of course, zero/pre-series production runs with aluminium tools or the replacement of tool inserts in existing master moulds are also possible - please contact us. We will find the 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%. In addition, replacing metal with plastic not only offers cost advantages, but also enables increased design flexibility and improved component handling.
