Prototyping

In today's world, flexibility and individuality are key to achieving great things. These characteristics enable companies to adapt to constantly changing requirements and develop innovative solutions that meet the specific needs of their customers. In the field of prototyping, we offer a comprehensive range of services and expertise, from prototyping to the development of new products.

 

From prototyping to product development

 

Our focus is on creating individual models and samples for our customers, implementing both the concrete specifications and initial ideas. This flexibility enables us to make a creative pool of ideas for our customers and transform their wishes into physical hardware. We often realize development projects directly on the vehicle so that new ideas can be presented and tested immediately. This creates a unique customer experience in which the innovations can be experienced directly on the fully functional vehicle. During the entire process, we often develop further innovative ideas together with our customers, which we incorporate into the projects.

 

Rapid prototyping

Our expertise at WITTE in rapid prototyping includes the use of SLS and FDM printing processes. With extensive experience and a wide range of application options, we are able to create data quickly, scan components and achieve a level of quality with printed parts that we can use on a daily basis. The SLS process enables us to make large quantities of parts available quickly and to implement complex geometries without reworking. SLS parts can be subsequently painted and finished. 

The two processes give us the flexibility we need to create functional samples for pre-series quickly and efficiently. This allows us to effectively drive forward projects for our customers in a targeted manner. We can also use these processes to print parts and check what effect a tool change would have and whether it makes sense. 

Electronics development

 

In the area of electronics development, we work closely with our internal teams. This enables us to implement development projects and ideas efficiently without having to rely on external service providers. The close cooperation between all development departments ensures that even small projects can be realized quickly and easily. Our in-house electronics expertise enables us to carry out practical tests and check functions such as open/close mechanisms or light controls.

Special machine construction

Special machine construction also benefits from our experience in prototype construction. Through close cooperation and the exchange of expertise, we can effectively support projects in special machine construction and build initial small series in preparation for series release. This close cooperation increases customer reliability, as solutions that have already been tested are used.

Pilot room

The first small series are processed in our pilot room in order to be able to start series production quickly. This is where we visualize creative ideas and test pre-series products to ensure their suitability for practical use.

Training in prototyping

Prototyping also offers an exciting apprenticeship that provides a wide range of learning and development opportunities. Here we can train in an innovative environment and give young people the opportunity to actively participate in the implementation of new ideas and projects.
