The EDSA engineering office is the first point of contact between the customer’s requirement and the manufacturing solution. We take the customer’s drawing and specification as our starting point, and contribute the process expertise needed to make the project viable, efficient and scalable.
Technical reading and interpretation of the manufacturing drawing: geometry, tolerances, material specification, treatments and reference standards. Early identification of critical aspects that may affect the process or tooling.
Technical assessment of the part or assembly from a process perspective: material formability, accessibility for welding, heat treatment requirements and finishing constraints. Documented outcome with the definition of risks and alternatives before committing to tooling investment.
Sequencing of operations, selection of equipment and definition of the optimal manufacturing flow for each part number. The basis of the control plan and the starting point for capacity and cost planning.
Design and adaptation of stamping, welding and assembly tooling aimed at reducing cost per part, improving repeatability and minimising changeover and adjustment times in production.
Direct technical liaison during the development, industrialisation and series production phases. Management of drawing changes, resolution of non-conformities and support in approval processes (PPAP, APQP, IATF 16949).
When the original design presents manufacturability constraints, we propose adjustments to geometry, tolerance or process sequence that preserve the component’s functionality and improve production efficiency. We don’t change the customer’s solution; we make it easier to manufacture.
Integration between engineering and production: we ensure the rapid industrialisation of your component.
