Prototyping
From 3D printing to pre-series production
We accompany our customers through the various phases from A, B, C samples to pre-series and series production.
The findings from these phases are incorporated into the concept for series production.
Sampling stages
-
Product
A-Samples
A-samples are used in the development phase.
We can produce initial prototypes using 3D printing processes. -
Product
B-Samples
B-samples are used for proof of concept. These sample parts are used to test the function.
For the B-sample phase, we make pre-series tools. This allows the tool concept to be checked. The near-series sample parts can be used for functional testing. -
Product
C-Samples
The first falling parts from the series tool are called C-samples.
We manufacture the series tools in our own tool shop. This enables us to transfer the knowledge gained from the previous phases to series production..
