Co-Engineering
We support you in optimising your part design all the way to series production. The goal is always to develop a series-ready and stable production process. A plastic-compatible part design is the first step and the basis for this.
Our project managers in engineering also support and advise you on the material selection of the plastic as well as the specification and definition of the filter material.
In the co-engineering phase, we can offer added value with model and drawing proposals. Very often this is done in interaction with the customer’s design or development department via data exchange of parametric 3D models and red pencil drawings.
Feasibility studies are part of our standard process for dealing with enquiries. For this purpose, we have template documents that are adapted to our processes. With these documents, we ensure that all relevant technical points are already queried and checked for feasibility before the offer is submitted.
This is how we proceed with parts development
-
Engineering
Verification of feasibility
The customer's parametric 3D model is read into the CAD programme and checked for feasibility.
-
Engineering
Optimisation of part design
The part design is optimised for feasibility and a stable manufacturing process.
-
Engineering
Co-Engineering
The customer receives an optimised 3D model for inspection and further processing.
-
Engineering
Inputs for drawing creation
If a part drawing is already available from the customer, optimisations and information from us can also be incorporated here via a red pencil drawing.
-
Engineering
Drawing creation
Based on the optimised 3D model, a draft drawing or drawing proposal can be created.
-
Engineering
Suitable choice of materials
The raw materials are evaluated and designed for the part and application in collaboration with the customer.
-
Engineering
Analysis through filling study
If required, the plastic part and injection mould can be analysed and evaluated with a filling simulation.
-
Settings
Injection moulding tool
The basis for a stable plastic injection moulding process is precise, high-quality and high-performance injection moulding tool adapted to the part.
-
Settings
Automatic production lines
Production automation, automatic assembly machines, automatic testing machines and packaging lines are procured via external partners on the basis of specifications from our engineering department.
-
Engineering
Advanced product quality planning (APQP)
In order to guarantee the quality specifications and the corresponding documentation, we consistently work with instruments such as manufacturability studies, process FMEA, PLP and SPC.
-
Production
Parts production
After sample and pre-series production, the series process is initialised on the basis of the production control plan.
«Do you see added value with our co-engineering approach?
I look forward to your enquiry.»

Optimisation of part design
With the optimisation of the part design in the co-engineering phase, we offer a decisive customer benefit.
Filling studies
To determine the filling behaviour and warpage of the plastic part, we work with filling simulations via Solidworks Plastics.
Tool draft design
If required, a draft design of the injection moulding tool can already be created in the co-engineering phase.
