We form ideas
with state-of-the-art engineering technologies, custom-made industrialization concepts and in-house expertise.
Constructive component development – the basis for a successful and economic series production.
The path to a virtual component begins with a thorough technical analysis and targeted product development. Upon request, we guide you from the initial concept phase through to production-ready implementation, with a clear focus on sustainable, functionally reliable, and cost-effective component design. By utilizing state-of-the-art CAD, filling, and FE simulations, we establish a robust basis for decision-making early in the development process to optimize plastic components. Potential weak points are identified early on, development risks are reduced, and costly changes later in the product development process are avoided. The result is high-quality molded parts with high process reliability and optimal conditions for cost-effective mass production. Thanks to the close integration of design, simulation, additive manufacturing, tooling, and production, development times can be significantly shortened and products brought to market faster. Functionality, quality, and manufacturability are always at the heart of our engineering services.
- Plastic- and tooling-optimized design for stable, reproducible, and cost-effective mass production of components based on your customer specifications and requirements
- Virtual component validation using Moldflow, filling, and finite element analysis (FEA) simulations
- Identification of optimization and cost-reduction potential as early as the development phase
- Accelerated development through additive manufacturing processes and rapid prototyping
- Direct integration with tooling and manufacturing for streamlined coordination and rapid implementation
- Secure and standardized data exchange via customer-provided platforms or data transfer systems provided by us.
Component design
Taking all requested functions from the integrated concept into consideration,, we design your components to meet your requirements and ensure they are suitable for plastic injection molding and tooling. We use market-leading software, CATIA V5 and Siemens NX, for targeted development and verification.
Industrialization concept
Your requirements are our top priority. Together with you, we develop the optimal production concept and select the most suitable manufacturing and machining technologies. Through close collaboration between development, toolmaking, and production, we ensure that quality, costs, and delivery performance are perfectly aligned with your goals. The level of automation is precisely tailored to your product, production volumes, and investment requirements to deliver the best possible overall solution.
Component simulation
Using state-of-the-art simulation tools such as Moldex3D and Cadmould, we analyze and optimize the entire mold and process design as early as the development phase. In addition to filling behavior, injection strategy, temperature control, and venting, we also evaluate potential warpage effects as well as part behavior under different materials and process parameters. This enables us to design the molds specifically to meet the unique quality, functional, and cost-effectiveness requirements of your part. Supplementary strength and stress analyses verify, even before mold construction begins, that your product will reliably withstand the required mechanical stresses. The result is robust parts, stable processes, and a shorter development time to series production.
Prototyping
We accelerate the development process for our customers by means of 3D printing of mold inserts and prototypes. Additive production procedures also contribute decisively to gaining knowledge about optimization possibilities in molded parts design or of the tool.
Material expertise
The right material mix to meet your requirements.
We have the experience, expertise, and technology to recommend materials for all common thermoplastics that meet your component requirements. Upon request, we can undertake product-specific material development for you.
