Product Engineering: Moving from Design to Final Product

One of the greatest benefits of working alongside a comprehensive supplier is the accessibility of full engineering services from conception to delivery. While many metal stamping projects require standardized and readily acquired components, Bopp Busch is also committed to meeting the needs of consumers and manufacturers with more complex or specialized design needs. Utilizing the product engineering services available through Bopp Busch ensures your unique project specifications move smoothly from the design phase to the final product.

During conceptualization, the team at Bopp Busch helps establish defined project goals and specifications according to the needs and preferences of both the client and other stakeholders. Design concepts will be created based on the manufacturability, budget, timeline, and functionality needs, ensuring that every component is directly aligned with the client’s vision for the project.

Technology has evolved significantly in recent years within the metal stamping industry, and now product engineering is able to incorporate advanced modeling and simulation capabilities early in the design process. CAD and CAM software programs allow for accurate and precise digital designs that create effective visualizations of project components. Utilizing these programs during the product engineering process helps to identify design flaws early and decrease a project’s final time-to-market.

After initial designs have been created and digitally validated, projects move into the prototyping phase where manufacturers and clients collaborate to revise and maximize designs based on physical models. During this phase, materials are often selected based on the durability, conductivity, budget, and corrosion resistance needs, and tested for efficiency.

Once a design is solidified and fully tested in both digital and physical formats, the product moves into the manufacturing and tooling phase, using dies, molds, and equipment to create fully assembled metal components. From here, Bopp Busch can provide ready-to-assemble or pre-assembled final products to the client based on their preferences.

Choosing to work with a comprehensive stamping supplier for your product engineering needs guarantees that your insight and vision are incorporated throughout every step of the manufacturing and stamping process. Bopp Busch values its client relationships and utilizes consistent communication and collaboration during every stage to ensure that your needs and desires are represented in the final delivered product.
