HPDC PROTOTYPES IN 12 WEEKS
Future viability through die casting competence! The development intervals of new drive technologies in the automotive industry have shortened considerably in recent years. This means that it is becoming increasingly important to be able to quickly produce prototypes that demonstrate the properties of the subsequent series production parts. Up to now, sand casting for these prototypes was the only possibility to quickly manufacture comparable casting parts. The problem: These casting parts are only conditionally comparable with series production HPDC parts, meaning that “completely” developed die casting components of a series production casting mold only achieve the required properties following extensive modifications.
K1 prototyping revolutionizes component development! We at Heck + Becker act with K1 prototyping not as a classic toolmaker, but instead as your comprehensive engineering partner. With our K1 competence platform, we can already analyze and optimize the practicability of your components in the die casting process at a very early development stage. K1 prototyping enables the substitution of sand casting! Already 12 weeks subsequent to a preliminary “design freeze”, we provide you with die casting components with the properties of the subsequent series production components, so that you can already carry out initial trials at a very early stage with congruent components.
