It may be that your component is already in production, or perhaps it is still on the drawing board. No matter what, there is much to be gained by applying correct matching in a range of areas. Firstly, of course, it is a matter of identifying the right production technique. We base our approach on the properties that the finished component is to feature, the size of the batch to be manufactured and the timeframe, and our goal is to minimise the amount of processing. The less processing required – and the fewer links in the chain – the lower the cost.
Minimised processing is one of the first requirements for successful matching. Minimised scrapping is another. As are, of course, short lead times and optimal logistical solutions. We provide assistance throughout the process from adaptation of the design – if appropriate – to production, processing and logistics. Correctly matched technology always results in lower costs.
Questions we ask during a matching process:
A component that is currently manufactured via several stages of shaping by cutting, turning, milling and thread-cutting, may, depending on its dimensions and production volume, be suitable for production through metal injection moulding. An example of switching production techniques that can cut costs by more than 50%.
