Manufacturing-oriented design for dies, fixtures and automation.
We design stamping and forming dies, progressive dies, clamping and welding fixtures and compact automation, from first feasibility check to finished drawing. Behind that sit more than 20 years on the shop floor, delivered in Creo Parametric, remotely or on site with you.

Services
Engineering services for your production
Six service areas and one dedicated contact. We stay with your project from the first feasibility review through the strip layout to the finished, documented drawings.
How we work
From enquiry to a production-ready solution
Four steps with clear interim results. You always know where your project stands.
01
Enquiry & feasibility
We look at the part, the material, the volume and your press, then tell you straight what works and what it takes.
02
Concept & layout
We lay out the strip, the station sequence and the die or fixture concept, checking forces and installation space as we go.
03
Design in Creo
The 3D design comes with common standard parts, a workable tolerance concept and details your toolmakers can actually produce.
04
Handover & support
Bill of materials, drawings and data in your preferred format, optionally supported until first article approval.
Benefits
Why companies outsource design work
Capacity without fixed costs
Absorb design peaks without creating a permanent position. You pay for project work, not for headcount.
Shop-floor thinking
More than 20 years in tool and fixture making mean designs that can genuinely be produced and maintained.
Short decision paths
One dedicated contact, direct questions, quick alignment, also with your toolmakers and suppliers.
Confidential & independent
Projects stay confidential, references are anonymised. We are tied to no toolmaker and no supplier.

Projects
Anonymised project examples
Progressive dies, strip layouts, milling and welding fixtures and automation from real customer projects. Names stay out of it for confidentiality reasons.
Project images on request
Most of our reference projects are confidential. We are happy to show design states, strip layouts and fixtures in person – on request and once the respective customer has approved it.
