In the phase of part design the points are set in the project. Design, function and costs are in the foreground.
The part is simulated without any influence of the tool. This means that the entire focus is on the most important points and at the same time a reference is created. This reference could be achieved with an “optimal” tool.

Structural-mechanical consideration under consideration of process-induced properties
Contact person: Sven Theissen
Identify influencing factors on component quality through “uninfluenced” reference.
Tool Design S2
Virtual verification and optimization of tool influences before “going into the steel”.
The article geometry is fixed, the tool is to be built. The task now is to examine the tool-specific influencing factors on the component and to design them in the best possible way.

Detailed structural-mechanical analysis of the component taking into account all influencing factors
Contact person: Sven Theissen
Identification of influencing factors of the tool on the idealized consideration of the part from S1.
Optimization S3
Optimization of the process or elimination of residual defects after SOP.
Production has already started in simulation level 3. With DoE, various parameters can be optimized to make the process even more efficient.
