PROTO DEEP-DRAWING
From a single source: combined manufacturing processes for housing construction
Production-ready prototypes for the automotive industry and its component suppliers
In the ever-changing world of the automotive industry, the race to bring innovative vehicles to market is fiercer than ever. The journey from concept to production-ready prototype requires the seamless integration of complex components without compromising on quality and economy. From an automotive and supplier perspective, die casting is critical to produce complex housings and lids that protect sensitive components, ensuring durability and optimal performance. This is where the synergy of die casting and deep drawing technology comes into play, which we offer as a manufacturing service provider. The combination of the two technologies is particularly interesting to produce prototypes in the automotive industry.
Our core competence: die-cast housings
At the heart of our manufacturing expertise is the production of die-cast housings. This process involves injecting liquid metal into a mold to produce complex shapes with accuracy and repeatability die cavity, creating complex shapes with unparalleled accuracy and repeatability in small to medium batches.
Deep-drawing technology: seamless lightweight
Complementing our core competencies in die casting, we utilize deep drawing technology. Deep drawing entails transforming flat sheet metal into three-dimensional structures through precise mechanical processes. This technique is particularly ideal for producing seamless and lightweight components.
Die-cast housing combined with deep-drawing process
The synergy created by combining die-cast housings with covers made using deep-drawing technology provides an economical solution for automotive manufacturers and suppliers, particularly in prototype production.
Benefits at a glance
