About us
CTK CAD - Technik GmbH was founded in 1998 and is an engineering service provider for design services relating to automotive sheet metal part production. The company creates method plans for small reinforcement parts up to large parts such as lids, doors and side panels, as well as the associated design of draw dies and active surfaces. The range of services also includes deep drawing and springback simulation with AutoForm, the calculation of overbending and crowning with CATIA V5 Generative Shape Optimizer, the preparation of subsequent operation data for NC machining, and NC programming of milling operations in 2.5D and 3D. In addition, the GmbH designs inspection gauges, measuring gauges, assembly gauges and fixtures on the basis of customer requirement specifications. Experience ranges from prototype to series production. Customers are renowned automotive manufacturers and their suppliers worldwide; the company works at its headquarters in Neckarsulm.
