Let's assume that there are some ideas for new products (Idea generation) and a first selection (Idea screening) has already been done. Also, the target group is set and therefore, even in a rough way, a framework of costs and characteristics have been defined (Concept development and testing) and there is also a first commercial plan (Business analysis and market strategy).
From this point till the start of production, efce will offer the necessary support to succesfully launch serial production.
Defining the most suitable manufacturing process in terms of functionality, quality and cost is a complex process.
Our extended industrial experience guarantees that process capabilities, part specifications, part features and lot sizes will be thoroughly analyzed, in order to define the most economic process.
The determination of the material for each component should take into account the production process, the functional tolerances, the general requirements during operation, the environmental effects and stresses, the special specifications and also the legal - if any - requirements.
And of course, the influence of the material on the final cost of the part.
Either delivering the solid models, or just assisting and consulting the customers design team, efce will help optimizing the parts design from the perspective of the manufacturing. For example, by merging designed parts, components cost, assembly procedures and quality will be subsantially improved.
Merging of designed components, by design features.
