Forming Technology

All components of the vehicle structure and outer skin can be manufactured by us. The focus here is on the following materials:

  • Steel
  • Aluminum
  • Stainless steel

We also master both cold and hot forming in the forming techniques.

Process engineering

  • Simultaneous engineering ranges from initial component concepts to series methods for complex body in white structures
  • Consideration of financial feasibility in series production
  • Extensive experience from previous projects
  • Competence through practical approach
  • Use of knowledge gained from close-to-production prototype construction for later production
  • Application of our years of experience and the latest CAx technologies
  • Consideration of customer requirements and working out suggestions for practical implementation
  • Production orientation in the construction of prototype tools is one of our core competencies
  • Concept development
  • Support in the development phase
  • Early validation of the producibility of the components
  • Compilation of feasibility studies
  • SE activity to optimise components
  • Optimisation of the components, to maintain or improve quality
  • Immediate evaluation of new development statuses
  • Planning / design of close-to-production prototype tools
  • Planning / design of series tools
  • Development of preliminary method plans in 2D and 3D
  • Development of method plans in 2D & 3D
  • Deep drawing simulation in AUTOFORM and evaluation of data
  • Carrying out tool optimisation cycles
  • Milling surface design
