Get to the finish line faster: simulations and calculations
Developing new products takes time, but it doesn't have to
Unique in the industry: Based on tmax simulations, you can avoid the usual loops in the development process so that, if possible, only one prototype needs to be built for testing.
The use of numerous simulations and analyses in the engineering and development process and on the test bench also offers the following advantages:
- Time and cost savings, as no development loops are necessary.
- Identification of a need for optimization, such as hotspots on the cladding, as early as the design phase, with the possibility of implementing appropriate adjustments before the realization of a prototype.
- Verification of fatigue resistance under mechanical load.
- Ensuring the reach of required standards and regulations.

Only continuously improved materials, sophisticated and mature process and manufacturing techniques, and well-thought-out design methodologies ensure the provision of economical and forward-looking products.
In-house test and inspection laboratory
Get your wanted results faster
Flawless materials and components form the basis for competitive, innovative and reliable products. To be able to offer our customers only the best end products, all the materials we use are subjected to various tests in our in-house inspection and testing laboratories.
Thermal, mechanical and acoustic behavior of the components are simulated, tested and calculated in detail. The results obtained in this way accelerate the development and manufacture of a functional, high-quality end product. With tmax, you save valuable time and money, and also increase the efficiency of the entire design and manufacturing process.
