Lightweight and sustainability solutions
We strongly believe that together with our clients, it is our responsibility to co-create the sustainable future. That is why we design innovative product solutions that guarantee customer's lightweight and sustainability goals.
CAE analyses
Development of components requires a comprehensive, iterative and systematic numerical approach where we continually analyze the internal stress levels due to the external acting loads and the residual stress levels that can result from the production process itself (e.g. injection moulding). With the main aim of using the minimum amount of required material to reach the desired function, these two numerical fields need to be tightly connected and well understood.
Additionally, structural analysis is crucial for the co-development of load-carrying parts while designing a manufacturable product.
Lifecycle and functional testing
Not only numerical validation but also control of a component or product lifetime requires practical experiments, where the product undergoes customised and function-specific testing. Both internally or together with our external partners, we are able to develop, design and produce experimental equipment and perform the required tests. We are experienced with static tests, fatigue tests, dynamic tests (e.g. modal analysis, sine-sweep analysis…) and specialised functional tests, depending on the product requirements and field of use.
CASE: Engine connector of oil mist separator – phases of transformation from metal to plastic
1. Understanding of the physical principal and boundary conditions
2. Definition of geometry limitations
3. Analysis of the current “metal” state
4. Establishing and validating a digital twin
5. Material characterization
6. Development of polymer design
7. Numerical validation, moldflow analysis and manufacturability improvement
8. Prototype tool design and test batch production
9. Experimental validation
10. Final result comparison
