PROTOTYPES AND SOFT TOOLS

ETMA stands out in the production of metal parts, using advanced sheet metal forming processes with specific tools known as soft tools.?

This method is highly effective for creating prototype parts or for production in small series.

The use of soft tools provides a fast and flexible approach, making it an ideal solution for clients who need agility in the prototyping phase or for small production runs.

In addition, ETMA is able to support the pre-series phase, allowing clients to test and adjust the design of the part before moving on to full-scale production.

?In this way, ETMA positions itself as a reliable partner in two main areas:

?? Prototyping and small series: ideal for clients who want to test the design or need limited production;

?? Pre-series: a crucial phase to analyse the viability of the part before starting series production

ETMA’S TEAM

The demand for tailored solutions, that comply with the requirements of each client, involves the development (comprised of engineers and specialised technicians) and sales teams, who share knowledge and experience with the client, resulting in synergies that are mutually beneficial.

A highlight goes to the Prototype Team, who plays a key role with ETMA’s clients, providing guidance regarding the best production and development plans for the requested parts, as well as their improvement.

When starting a prototyping project, you will have direct contact with a technical manager that:

• Monitors the project;
• Directly responds to any technical questions that you may have and meets the prototype manufacturing deadlines;
• Supports and helps you with technical requirements, both for new parts and changes in existing ones.
