After treatment is an important factor in supplying metal components our team of Engineers are here to help our customers choose the correct component finish including corrosion resistance properties, functionality or cosmetic finishes.
We have an in-house facility for Stress relieving and can offer Hardening and Tempering of Carbon Steels to increase spring performance.
We can heat treat Beryllium Copper internally.
For components of a delicate nature we can offer special packaging in vacuum form trays.
Rapid prototyping is typically done down the line in the design process, providing a scaled down version of a product early in manufacturing. Prototype springs, for example, allow us to test designs before the final manufacturing process, which provides our clients with a sample of the requested product.
Although defined by five stages, the design thinking process isn’t a linear one. In engineering, the stages are revisited when needed in order to optimise products. From, empathising, defining, ideating, prototyping, and testing, projects often find new solutions to existing problems.
Prototyping allows for the assurance of manufacturing the right products for clients. Designs are explored, completed, and printed quickly, which provides a physical model to test.
Combining both virtual and physical prototyping can help to speed up the manufacturing process. They take a project from concept development into preliminary engineering, in which varied tools and methods allow for expert design. This process often involves building a virtual model, which allows for a faster testing of any flaws and issues. These virtual prototypes showcase improvement from the very first design until the physical prototype.
CAD design is often utilised, making use of math modelling and simulation and with the manufacturing process in mind. It helps to create a design that ensures the working success of a physical model.
The involvement of the clients in the prototyping phase showcases the product before its completion, which allows for feedback. The client and engineer cooperation aids in improving the end product and giving it a more detailed approach. Misunderstanding can happen, and having a prototype ensures that all requirements are included in the design. It also minimises human error, bringing potentially non-technical people together with engineers who are able to showcase how the product will work.
With almost 70 years of experience, here at European Springs Ireland we are experts in providing both spring and pressings solutions. Our cutting-edge technology and knowledgeable team always ensure that you have the best possible service.
And even if we don’t have exactly the tool we need, European Springs’ in house technology enables us rapidly to design and make complex tools, allowing us to offer more competitive prices.
