Product Concept→Prototype Build→Prototype Validation→Optimized Product→Full Production Tooling
  • Material Savings thru Engineering (Getting Washer out of Scrap — part produced from skeleton)
  • Close collaboration with customer upstream led to cost savings in Tooling and Saved Piece price
  • Lesson Learnt from Prototype tooling applied to Production Tooling
