Case Study
High-precision castings
Project: Chassis component
How our customers realize a cost-efficient small series production
The small series production (e.g. 1.500 units) of components, using low pressure sand casting, enables economically solutions with high precision.
Project-Type
Series production for special vehicles
Lead time
16 weeks
Objective
- Fully machined, partially assembled and validated components
- Very short development and design times
- Decrease of weight
Challenge
Functionally optimised casting design combined with process-stable manufacturing of functional prototypes in short lead time.
