Prasmet is not only a manufacturer – a manufacturer of details in accordance with the technical documentation presented in the inquiry. We are a partner in developing and optimizing your products.

How to prepare a project for production

Optimization of the workpiece and design is a key part of preparing the project for production. The design stage of the device can determine the cost and ultimately the profitability of the entire project. The introduction of tolerances in the construction drawings should not only be based on the functionality of the designed device, but must also be based on the intended manufacturing technology for that metal part.
Narrowing the tolerances necessitates more precise and costly technological processes – machining parameters, tools, special solutions in production or additional mechanical operations. By working with us, you can optimize and at the same time reduce the cost of your manufactured product.
During a consultation – at an in-house meeting or online – you can discuss with us how a product works, and we will help optimize its design so that the proposed manufacturing technologies are the cheapest, while maintaining care where it is needed.

How we help maintain quality when choosing manufacturing technology

Metal parts can be manufactured in different ways – using different technological processes. The chosen process will determine the price, accuracy, repeatability and mechanical properties of the parts. For example, sheet metal products can be manufactured by:

• Laser cutting
• Mechanical guillotine cutting
• Punching
• Wire EDM

Depending on the chosen process, the workpieces will differ in many aspects. It is important to maintain the assumed dimensional tolerances, but also the repeatability of the process (maintaining the appropriate value of Cp and Cpk). This is especially important when the manufactured parts go to automatic assembly lines.
Having different manufacturing technologies, we select the appropriate technology for the assumed requirements. This allows us to keep the production of all products with one supplier, and to optimize the ordered products in terms of cost and quality.

How we select and recommend the optimal material

The choice of material from which a part is manufactured affects corrosion resistance, strength, machinability, assemblability and many other aspects. We manufacture products from stainless steel, acid-resistant steel, structural steel, stamping steel and many others. We then subject our products to processes of washing, deburring, troweling, sandblasting, powder coating or apply electroplating.
We offer finished parts galvanized, nickel-plated, chrome-plated. Depending on the application, we help you choose the material of which the ordered elements are to be made. This directly translates into optimizing the cost and maintaining the appropriate anti-corrosion properties of the manufactured products.

How we efficiently put parts into production

When you order tooling from us, we handle the entire process, taking into account the design, manufacture and implementation into production. The standard on the market is to do all stages separately – you need a design company, a company that will manufacture it and a company that will implement it into production.
As a result, the customer often spends a lot of money on tooling, but in the end there is no detail. At Prasmet, we avoid conflict on the lines of designer, contractor and manufacturer, as well as pushing responsibility for non-functioning tooling or nonconforming product – the whole process is in one place.
