About us
Ackermann CAD-Konstruktions GmbH, based in Wachenheim an der Weinstraße, provides design services in the fields of product development and general engineering using CAD (Computer Aided Design). The service portfolio includes concept development, 3D CAD drafts with DMU and kinematic studies, production-ready 2D drawing derivations to DIN standards, model and prototype building via a partner network (stereolithography, laser sintering, CNC milling, manual model making), toolmaking design (bending, deep-drawing and punching tools, forming-embossing and cutting tools, welding tools, gauges), 0-series support, FMEA facilitation, project management, data management, supplier management, consulting and on-site CAD training. Work is performed with the CAD software CATIA V5; broad format management (.stp, .iges, .parasolid, among others) enables data exchange with customers and suppliers. The designs cover cast components, high-precision CNC-machined components as well as film and thick sheet metal formed in press tools. Industry focuses are automotive and mechanical engineering, alongside the plastics industry, automation industry, healthcare and industrial washing systems; a referenced project was the drivetrain of the Porsche Panamera Hybrid.
