Engineering office for tool design and product development
H. Schirneker metall-design GmbH & Co. KG is an engineering office founded in 1979 and based in Bad Salzuflen (North Rhine-Westphalia), specialising in the plastics processing industry and injection mould toolmaking. The company designs injection moulding and die casting tools and accompanies products from the initial idea through model, prototype and toolmaking to production maturity. Its services include product development, concept analyses, mold-flow and warpage analyses, costing of new tools and tool modifications, supplier management, design supervision, trouble shooting, change management as well as acceptance testing and capability studies (Run & Rate). As part of its tool tracking, the office manages tools at the tool supplier on site worldwide – from feasibility assessment through procurement and the construction phase to sampling, optimisation and production ramp-up. Design work is carried out using the CAD systems Catia V5 and One Space Designer. Customer industries include the automotive industry, electrical engineering, household appliances, medical technology and lighting.
