Manufacturing & Assembly: We understand your problems

Efficient Design for Manufacturing and Assembly

Optimized manufacturing starts with design - Why this factor is crucial.

A product can only be economically successful if it can be manufactured and assembled efficiently. But all too often, these aspects are only considered late in the development process — with expensive corrections as a result. Our approach starts here: From the very first design phases, we take manufacturing processes into account, reduce complexity and create solutions that can be optimally integrated into existing production processes.

Cooperation with Manufacturing as a Success Factor

Good design is created in exchange. That is why we work closely with engineers, manufacturing and assembly experts to check design decisions as early as possible for practical use. Every choice of material, every type of connection and every assembly process is thought through together to achieve optimum efficiency. Thanks to direct coordination and iterative development, we avoid unnecessary adjustment loops and ensure that our designs are not only technically convincing but also economically feasible. We rely on a cooperative development process that enables practical solutions and prevents errors in production. Very close to your requirements.

Your challenges as a manufacturer

We understand your issues.

Innovation is the key to success - but there are often unexpected hurdles between promising ideas and actual implementation. Development managers, production managers and technical managing directors are faced with the task of balancing technological progress with economic and production requirements on a daily basis. Time pressure, costs and complex manufacturing processes set clear limits.

Pressure to innovate and Production Reality

The challenge for development managers
The best ideas don't fail because of technology, but because of implementation. As a development manager, you have visions for new products, but production requirements, cost limits and time pressure set tight limits.

How often have you had to reschedule a well-thought-out concept because manufacturing and assembly were not considered?

We know that innovation must not be broken by reality.

When Assembly Details determine Efficiency

Production managers in focus
Every screw, every joint position can decide whether a product is manufactured efficiently — or whether it remains a cost hog. Cumbersome assembly steps, poorly accessible components and a high risk of errors are your daily challenges.

They know perfectly well that a small change in design can have a massive impact on assembly time. Unfortunately, people often react too late.

Between Scalability and Profitability

Technical managing directors
A design may look impressive on paper, but how economical is it really?

As managing director, you must not only keep an eye on the technical aspects but also on the business aspects. Is the product scalable? How does the design affect material consumption and manufacturing costs? Can the assembly process be designed efficiently?

You must rely on design and production being thought of together from the start.

Technologies and Methods

Our tools for your success.

Modern manufacturing requires precise, flexible and cost-effective methods. We use a combination of powerful CAD software, cutting-edge prototyping technology and high-precision manufacturing processes to develop designs that can be implemented economically and reliably.

CAD: Perfect Design for Production and Assembly

We work with two specialized CAD systems to optimally implement both creative and technical requirements:

  • Rhinoceros 3D for freeform modeling, ideal for complex organic shapes and detailed geometries.
  • SolidWorks for accurate design data that is ideal for industrial manufacturing.

With these tools, we develop designs that are functional, production-ready and easy to assemble.

3D Printing: Rapid and precise Prototype Development

Our 3D printing processes make it possible to quickly make design ideas tangible and to test them at an early stage. In particular, we rely on two technologies with specific strengths:

  • SLA printing for high-precision models with fine details — ideal for initial design samples.
  • Laser sintering for robust and mechanically resilient functional prototypes.

By using additive manufacturing, we can implement design adjustments immediately and drastically reduce validation times.

CNC Processing: High-precision Production of Models and Prototypes

With our in-house portal milling system, we produce exact models, prototypes and workpieces that are ideal for functional and assembly tests.

3D Scans: Precise Analysis and Digital Reproduction

Our 3D scanner with hybrid laser and LED technology captures components with maximum accuracy. This enables us to:

  • The digitization of existing components for precise post-processing.
  • The validation and optimization of production parts through detailed geometric comparisons.
  • Quick quality control to identify deviations at an early stage.

Reverse Engineering: Further develop existing Products

Through area recycling and optimization, we make it possible to improve existing components. This is particularly valuable when original data is missing or older designs are adapted to modern manufacturing processes.

Our technologies are designed to shorten development times, reduce costs and ensure the highest quality — so that your products can not only be developed innovatively but also economically.

We often get these Questions

And we're happy to answer them.

How does design for manufacturing and assembly improve production costs?
