Design

What is a great mold conception process ?

First it starts with a great understanding of requirements. From functional perspective but also from logistic or methods. It becomes a cross functional work, design office speaks to you and to account managers, the one in charge of fully understanding you.

 

In the conception process, we like to review all formalized and unformalized requirements, go through checklist and sharing risks.

Risk management is a skill we expand. We have a responsibility in that matter. We have to assess risks with you, make the good decisions, together as a extended enterprise eager to reach a common goal : the satisfaction of your own customer.

And, with advanced customers, we design to cost.

5 people work at Protoform Bourgogne design office. We use catia and Work NC.
