Production Solution Engineering
Production solution engineering for qualified custom projects. Forming Tech Pro evaluates your part and production requirements, then develops a machine or production-line solution around them, with cycle time, capacity and cost analyzed for your project.
What Production Solution Engineering Covers
Production solution engineering connects your part, the forming process and your production requirement. It combines manufacturing process engineering (how the part is formed), machine process design (which machine and configuration fit that process) and, where a project needs it, production line engineering for automated production lines. The result is a custom production solution built around your part and process.
Engineering Workflow
For qualified custom projects, the engineering workflow can include the following steps. Not every inquiry needs every step.
Part Drawing
Your part drawing and production requirements are the starting point.
Process Feasibility
Our engineers evaluate whether the part can be formed and which process steps are required.
Machine Selection
A standard machine, a customized machine or an automated production line is selected to fit the process.
Custom Design
Where a standard configuration is not sufficient, the configuration is designed around your part.
Cycle Time Estimate
Estimated for your part and the selected configuration. No generic cycle time is published.
Capacity Estimate
Estimated for your project against your production requirement.
Production Cost Estimate
Prepared for your project. Cost figures are not published in advance.
Cost Saving
Assessed against your own production situation, for your project only.
ROI / Payback Estimate
Calculated from actual project data, never from generic figures.
Build / Test
The solution is built and tested in-house.
Delivery
Before shipment, machines can be reviewed through video machine inspection, Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), or a customer on-site factory inspection.
Production Support
Installation, commissioning, operator training, remote technical support, spare parts support and warranty support follow delivery.
Analysis Is Calculated Per Project
Cycle time, capacity, production cost, cost saving and ROI/payback depend on your part, your process and your production requirement. They are confirmed from an actual project calculation, not published as generic figures or promises.
What to Send
Start with your part drawing. These details help our engineers review your project:
- Part drawing
- Material and size
- Required processes
- Production requirement / expected output
- Existing production problem or objective

Production Solution Engineering FAQ
What is production solution engineering?
It is the engineering workflow used to evaluate a customer's part and production requirements and develop an appropriate production solution — from process feasibility and machine selection to build, test, delivery and production support.
Do you publish cycle time, capacity or ROI figures?
No. These figures depend on your part and requirements, so they are calculated from actual project data for qualified projects and are not published in advance.
Is it only for automated production lines?
No. Depending on the project, the solution can be a standard machine, a customized machine or an automated production line.
How do I start?
Send your part drawing and production requirements. Our engineers will review the application and help confirm the right configuration.
