Process

From inquiry to implementation

1

Inquiry & clarification of requirements

The customer describes the component, tool or issue and provides drawings, CAD data or initial requirements.

2

Data review & feasibility

Technical documents, tolerances, material, surfaces and possible optimizations are reviewed.

3

Consultation & coordination

Requirements, manufacturing approach, project scope and the most cost-effective solution are coordinated.

4

Design & CAM

The tool, mold or component is designed and the manufacturing steps are prepared digitally.

5

Manufacturing and quality

Machining is carried out using suitable processes and is assured by measurement and inspection processes.

6

Handover & optimization

After inspection, sampling or documentation, the handover or optimization takes place.
