Rapid molding for fast changing cycles in consumer and sports fashion at lower costs.
3D-printed prototyping molds using DfAM, specific design and printing guidelines based on Ultracur3D® RG 1100 B.
Strategy A clear AM strategy is set with defined goals, timelines, and resources. An additive department is established. AM strategy is set to drive the organizations success.
Product Design 
Material 
Process Engineering Defining standardized guidelines for the entire value chain and process specifications (steps, parameters, design, materials) to ensure high reproducibility through expert knowledge. Use independent tools for various process engineering stages (Part Check, Parameter Setting, Nesting), with a focus on interdependent process steps.
Production Setup Integrated automation scenario with isolated automation islands covering the majority of process steps. Semi-automated handling throughout process chain. Operator is guided digitally in his work. Holistic production system for AM defined.
Manufacturing Execution Templates of BOM & BOP creation and mapping based on work orders. Vertical integration (OT/IT) including data acquisition and monitoring. Comprehensive tracking and tracing of parts, assets, and workforce. Integration of PLM into tool landscape and defined interfaces.
Quality Product and Process quality planned and inspected for manufacturing process compliant with industry standards.
Maintenance & Service Maintenance includes calibration and quality testing, with a fixed service framework to ensure high uptime. Data is leveraged to reduce downtime, and trained staff perform extended internal maintenance.
Environmental Sustainability Comprehensive resource optimization strategies; significant reduction in material, energy, and water usage; advanced recycling practices.
