Manufacturing processes

Manufacturing processes

We have extensive knowledge of well-known and innovative manufacturing processes. One area of expertise is the evaluation and selection of alternative production options for your components. We examine manufacturing processes such as casting, machining or forming and their technical feasibility and economic viability for you.

Service modules

The service modules listed below represent self-contained work content in our manufacturing processes area of expertise. We have sophisticated and proven methods and tools for efficient processing.

Together with you, we identify the goals for your production and incorporate your requirements for the component under consideration (e.g. in terms of costs or quality characteristics).

In this phase, we systematically document the current state. This concerns, for example, an existing component, including the manufacturing process or the materials to be used.

Based on our previous knowledge, we investigate alternative manufacturing processes and describe them, for example in terms of their technical properties, in detailed fact sheets.

Together we will evaluate the manufacturing processes in respect to the fulfillment of requirements and assist you in selecting a suitable alternative to the existing technology.

As part of the vendor selection process, we identify and evaluate potential suppliers. This includes requests for pricing information for your component or conducting workshops for supplier presentation.

In this phase, we support you in the economic analysis of alternative production processes, for example taking into account necessary investments and running costs.

Research of potential manufacturing processes

Your current manufacturing methods cannot meet your quality or cost requirements? You manufacture your components successfully, but are interested in the potential of other manufacturing processes? You want to learn about the current status of research and technology for one or several manufacturing processes? You have no time for extensive research in your workday? Then we would be happy to support you in researching and documenting manufacturing processes.

Evaluation and selection of alternative manufacturing processes

Are you looking specifically for alternative ways to customize your components? You would like to know more about the potential of alternative manufacturing processes? Are you wondering whether other manufacturing processes are cheaper than the technology you are currently using? You lack the time for the systematic selection of a manufacturing process based on technical and economic criteria? Then we would be happy to support you in researching, evaluating and selecting manufacturing processes.

Research of manufacturing processes and supplier selection

Are you looking for alternative ways to manufacture your components? You would like to get acquainted with the potentials of alternative manufacturing processes or you would like to know more about the providers of other manufacturing processes? Choosing a vendor is too time-consuming for you? Are you wondering whether other manufacturing processes are cheaper than the technology you are currently using? Then we would be happy to support you in researching, evaluating and selecting manufacturing processes and vendors.
