1,313 Tooling Projects

Some of our most important work never becomes part of the final product. That’s especially true for tooling.

While rarely visible to the outside world, the right tool can make the difference between a promising concept and an economically viable production process. Quietly in the background, tooling has helped shape how ideas become real components for decades. Tools were being developed and refined alongside our processes long before they were brought together in a dedicated team around five years ago.

Since then, that work has grown into 1,313 tooling projects.

One of the advantages of an in-house tooling team is how closely everything is connected. We don’t only just build tools in-house. We develop our processes and even our equipment ourselves, allowing tooling, process development, and manufacturing expertise to evolve together.

From 3D printing to milling and turning, each tool is developed for its specific process step, supporting consistent results and reliable component quality. Simulation complements this by helping us anticipate component and process behavior before the first tool is even built.

Even though the tool itself never becomes part of the final component, its impact can be seen in the precision, repeatability, and reliability with which specifications are met. This is what helps move projects forward, from first idea to reliable series production.
