Prototyping to create world-class tools

Not only do we create tools of the highest quality at Lidhs Tooling, but we also work with prototyping. Creating a prototype provides an early sample of the tool and helps with visualisation. Prototyping before production is also a way to improve the sustainability of the manufacturing process.

 

We can create prototypes of many different types of sheet metal parts. And, like our tool manufacturing, our prototyping takes place through a cost-effective and time-efficient process with sustainability in focus.

 

When we develop a prototype, our design department works closely with the simulation. After a review, our designers draw the component in question and simulate the design. The simulation provides us with information about the manufacturability of the component. If the result shows that it is not manufacturable, we help and come up with suggestions for changes. Working with you, we develop a new, manufacturable design, which is then used to create a physical prototype.

Try out

Try out – a careful check of the function and sustainability of the tool To ensure the quality and sustainability of our tools, a try-out is carried out on the assembled tool. A try-out is the process in our tool manufacturing when the tool is tested and adjusted. Completing a try-out before the tool is…

EDM

EDM for advanced forms with high precision At Lidhs Tooling, we got off to an early start with wire cutting machines in our tool manufacturing, acquiring our first EDM machine back in 1978. This has given us more than 45 years of experience and extensive expertise when it comes to working with EDM.   EDM…
