Prototyping to create world-class tools

Att ta fram en prototyp ger dig ett första utkast på verktyget och hjälper till med visualiseringen.

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 toolA try-out is the stage in our tool making when the tool is tested for the first time. 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…

EDM

EDM for advanced forms with high precisionWhen we manufacture tools, wire EDM is a part of the production process. Wire EDM is used to cut metal with an electrically charged brass wire. At Lidhs Tooling, we got off to an early start with wire cutting machines in our tool manufacturing, acquiring our first EDM machine…
