DFM | MFA
Early integration of design for manufacturing and mold flow analyses supports optimal manufacturability, ensures stable material flow, and enables reliable demolding. This minimizes subsequent adjustments in the production process and ensures high process stability.
SLA | SLS Parts
Additive manufacturing enables rapid prototyping of plastic components, allowing early design validation and functional testing while significantly shortening development cycles. By providing fast and flexible prototype creation, potential issues can be identified at an early stage and design adaptations can be supported efficiently.
Prototype Molds
Prototype molds are used to validate part geometry, assess manufacturability, and confirm material flow before serial tooling is initiated. This enables early functional testing and reduces the risk of downstream design changes.
Tool Design
Tool designs are developed based on part requirements, manufacturing feasibility, and material behavior, ensuring efficient production and long‑term dimensional stability. Functional features are engineered to achieve reliable processing and consistent output quality.
Manufacturing
Tools are manufactured with high‑precision machining technologies and stringent quality controls to ensure durability, dimensional accuracy, and stable performance in demanding production environments. Every component is produced and assembled according to defined tolerances to guarantee long‑term reliability.
Sampling
Sampling runs are conducted to evaluate tool functionality, optimize processing parameters, and confirm part quality before serial release. Early deviations can be identified and resolved to ensure stable production readiness.
Measurement | Rework
Comprehensive measurements and refined rework processes are applied to verify dimensional stability and enhance tool accuracy. Identified deviations are corrected promptly to align the tool with required tolerances and ensure consistent part quality.
Start-Up
Tools are commissioned under real production conditions to validate cycle times, adjust process parameters, and ensure seamless integration into manufacturing lines. Stable performance is established before handover to serial production.
Service | Maintenance
Regular service and preventive maintenance procedures are carried out to maintain tool condition, minimize downtime, and extend operational lifespan. Wear‑related components are monitored and replaced as required to ensure continuous performance.
Spare Parts
Spare parts are produced and supplied with short lead times to secure uninterrupted tool performance and reduce maintenance‑related downtime. All components are manufactured according to original specifications for consistent quality.
