Seat concept development

We do it all. We do it all.

We are in our element when developing new seat concepts, complete seats or in finding innovative solutions to one-of-a-kind problems. We offer all the relevant skills – and more than 15 years experience – under one roof. We take seat concepts from the abstract world of data and make them real! Our prototypes are exceptionally real and perfect for trade fairs, board presentations, inspections processes and more. These products combine design and function so that your assessment and evaluation processes are fully informed. These prototypes are created in collaboration with our customers – in an open, workshop-style atmosphere which begins with a thorough concept analysis. Having all the relevant departments under one roof creates efficiencies. Making changes or adjustments can be done quickly and easily. Two to three weeks is all we need from the submission of Class-A surfacing data to the physical production of your seat prototype. Included at this stage is testing for possible part incompatibilities – a process that helps ensure your mass production phase runs smoothly. Of course every step of the process is fully documented. All these services are included in every project we do, so you have nothing to worry about.

  1. Inquiry

    • arrow Documents

      We provide secure data lines to ensure the problem-free uploading of specifications for your spec sheets, part fact sheets and CAD data.

    • arrow Deadlines

      We set project milestones with you. And have all the necessary capacities, skills and experience to meet them right here in our facility.

    • arrow Costs

      In the bid phase you’ll see that we are open to negotiations that will give you the best price possible. It’s a principle of ours to optimize costs and offer attractive terms to all our clients.

  1. Development

    • arrow Sourcing

      We order or produce the necessary structures, upholstery, hang-on parts, laminates and foam pieces.

    • arrow Concept Analysis

      We analyse the feasibility of your design, collision test it and, if the need arises, develop alternative ideas. Our “everything under one roof” approach gives you anytime access to the collective “know-how” of all our departments.

    • arrow CAD-Design

      Working closely with your engineers, we work out your component geometry on the basis of your Class-A surfacing and design data.

    • arrow Trim Development

      We work exclusively digitially – without hardcopy pattern sets. We generate the first pattern set as a CAD file based on your Class-A surfacing or foam data. This allows our staff to create your first presentation sample as quickly as possible. Our CAD-design and foam part production processes run in parallel resulting in greatly reduced development time.

    • arrow 3D Printing

      Using our own large format 3D printer, we can produce your panels, supports and fixtures – up to a size of 1m3. Full product finishing included.

    • arrow Milled Parts

      Milled foam and EPP parts can be manufactured to your specs.

    • arrow Metal Structures

      With your CAD models as templates, we can produce highly-precise metal concept structures using CNC-milled welding fixtures.

    • arrow Complete Seats / Optical Measurement

      We use your design guidelines to create your complete seat: optically measured and seamlessly documented.

    • arrow Persuasive

      We can give presentations to decision makers and support you with customer reviews – by providing issue lists and working together to determine next steps.

    • arrow Workshops

      Productive, innovative, even on the fly: we can organize development workshops which lead, thanks to our physical models, directly to solutions.

  1. Trade Fairs / Test Drives / Board Presentations

    • arrow Support

      We are there to support you at trade fairs: with the installation and maintenance of your display models.

    • arrow Evaluation

      What results did your test drives produce? What sort of feedback came from the presentation to the board? And how did the trade fair go? We can help you do a comprehensive evaluation of where things stand.
