The benefits of AM promise to build new business models through the serial production of radically innovative products. The challenge is now to take the chances and to minimize the risks. We safely guide you to build an optimized production process for additive volume manufacturing. On the basis of your objectives, initial conditions, and requirements, we develop a production strategy and a production process. Afterwards, we either reliably manufacture your component or provide you with the IP and the right manufacturing technology.
INITIAL SITUATION: DESIGN DOES NOT EXIST
Design brief - We check the AM-feasibility of the design, develop recommendations and a proposal for next steps
Conceptual design - We implement the design brief, clarify the CMEs (Critical Manufacturing Elements), design a new product, perform simulation, and produce CME prototypes if required
Final design - We finalize the product design and produce test parts and CME samples if required
ADM-D - We develop individual software, special materials, and application-specific manufacturing processes tailored to your needs
AM Optimization - We optimize and finalize all processes (data preparation, manufacturing, finishing, quality assurance, packaging, and shipment)
AM Validation - We test and validate all processes with a pilot production
GOAL: ADM-V - We manufacture your serial products in accordance with the final manufacturing agreement
INITIAL SITUATION: DESIGN EXISTS
Feasibility check - We check the AM feasibility of the part, develop recommendations and a proposal for next steps
Feasibility study - We collect your requirements in an A&R (Applications & Requirements) report, clarify the CMEs (Critical Manufacturing Elements) and develop a feasible manufacturing process and a D&R (Design & Reliability) report
Design adjustment - We implement limited design changes
ADM-E - We change the design or create a new one through our engineering services
ADM-D - We develop individual software, special materials, and application-specific manufacturing processes tailored to your needs
AM Optimization - We optimize and finalize all processes (data preparation, manufacturing, finishing, quality assurance, packaging, and shipment)
AM Validation - We test and validate all processes with a pilot production
GOAL: ADM-V - We manufacture your serial products in accordance with the final manufacturing agreement
