Prototypes Small Series: supplier of stamped and bent parts

Prototypes are typically used to test the design and functionality of products or components before they are produced in small batches or directly on a larger scale. We work with 100% care in the design and manufacture of your prototypes and small batches. This is the only way to guarantee that they fulfill the desired properties and functions. In practice, we check the quality and dimensional accuracy of your prototypes through measurements taken during production and in our in-house metrology laboratory. There are various techniques used to manufacture prototypes—such as small bent parts—from sheet metal, including punching, bending, and laser cutting or welding. For delicate, small-format components, laser fine cutting technology also plays a major role. All of these techniques enable sheet metal parts to be produced in a wide variety of shapes and sizes—making them ideal for industrial production. The choice of technique depends on the requirements of the prototype and the material properties. For example, laser technology is particularly well-suited for prototype production with very precise tolerances, while punching is better suited for the production of large quantities of stamped and bent parts. Large and small bent parts are usually produced on die bending machines using air bending, embossing, or folding. The principle is the same: A punch presses a workpiece into the die. Alternatively, bent parts are produced using swivel bending.
