Engineering and PPAP
Six designers working in SolidWorks, Pro-E and UG; tooling designed and made in house; prototype parts in 4 weeks and PPAP to ISO/TS 16949 or VDA typically in 8 weeks.
Design and development
Our team of six experienced and dedicated designers is able to work in SolidWorks, Pro-E and UG software, and we always satisfy our customers with a quick and professional response.
We do not just take the drawing
We work closely with our customers on the sport pad design and we provide our suggestions on how to improve the product, from prototype through to PPAP — including the team feasibility study.
Prototype to production
Our prototype shop is an excellent example of how good we are at satisfying a customer's needs. All tooling is designed and made in house, and we are able to deliver parts from a prototype tool in 4 weeks.
PPAP
We are experienced in PPAP according to ISO/TS 16949 or VDA, as we are working with customers based in North America and Europe, and timing is typically 8 weeks.
What to send us to start
A native SolidWorks, Pro-E or UG file, or a STEP export, or the physical sample. Add the annual volume, the service conditions, and whether PPAP is required and to which standard.
The route from enquiry to production
Drawing or sample
You send a file or the part. We measure, model and quote.
Feasibility
The team feasibility study, with our suggestions for improving the part.
Prototype tool
Designed and made in house. Parts in your hands 4 weeks later.
PPAP
To ISO/TS 16949 or VDA. Typically 8 weeks, on production parts.
Questions buyers ask
Do you build your own tools?
Yes. All tooling is designed and made in house, which is why a prototype part takes 4 weeks rather than the eight to ten a subcontracted tool would need.
Which CAD formats can you take?
SolidWorks, Pro-E and UG natively; STEP is fine as an exchange format.
How long does PPAP take?
Typically 8 weeks, to ISO/TS 16949 or VDA. Most of that is running and measuring production parts, not paperwork.
Ready when you are
One email starts it: the part, the volume, and a drawing or a photograph of the sample. Everything else we can work out.
