Prototype & Pre-Series Production
Development & Validation for Tube Diameters up to 45 mm
Prototype & Pre-Series Production – Your Reliable Path to New Tube Forming Geometries
1. Meeting Today’s Challenges
transfluid Prototyping – Development & Validation for Tube Diameters up to 45 mm
Growing geometric complexity, tighter tolerances and shorter development cycles place high demands on modern tube forming. Unexpected issues in this phase can be costly—especially when your part is moving toward series production.
Our transfluid Prototyping Department eliminates that risk early on. We test components, tools and forming processes under real production conditions so you can transition smoothly from prototype to pre-series and finally to full-scale manufacturing.
2. From Concept to Series Production
Our services at a glance:
-
Development of new forming geometries and tool concepts tailored to your application, including material evaluation and process layout.
-
In-house validation and testing using axial forming machines with up to 25 tons of forming force and a CNC-controlled rolling forming machine – for tube diameters up to 45 mm.
-
High-precision measurement technology, including tactile and optical systems, ensures exact part evaluation, full documentation and clear release criteria.
-
Prototype and pre-series production – even if you do not have your own machine capacity. We handle short manufacturing runs so you can validate and optimize your components quickly.
3. Your Benefits
-
Reduced risk: Early testing ensures a stable, predictable start of production.
-
Cost-efficient: Use our infrastructure and avoid investments in additional prototyping equipment.
