High-precision castings

Project: Chassis component

How our customers realize a cost-efficient small series production

Project-Type:

Series production for special
vehicles

Lead time:

16 weeks

Challenge:

Functionally optimised casting
design combined with
process-stable manufacturing
of functional prototypes in short
lead time.

The small series production
(e.g. 1.500 units) of components,
using low pressure sand casting,
enables economically solutions
with high precision.

Objective:

  • Fully machined, partially
    assembled and validated
    components
  • Very short development
    and design times
  • Decrease of weight
