Design & rapid prototyping
From the sketch to the prototype
From the first sketch to the functional prototype: we develop, design and realize components and systems precisely, efficiently and practically - using the latest CAD, FEM and CFD technology.
Quickly from concept to tangible solution
Development, visualization, validation - from a single source
PTS-Prüftechnik offers you the complete range of design services: from standard-compliant, production-ready drawings to feasibility studies and complete product development. Our engineers work with leading CAD systems such as Creo Parametric, Catia and Siemens NX as well as FEM and CFD analyses to optimize products right from the design phase. Thanks to our in-house production of functional and presentation models, we significantly shorten development times - allowing design, function and assembly processes to be checked realistically at an early stage.
Precision, experience and state-of-the-art technology
Our services at a glance
From the initial idea to production-ready implementation - we offer you comprehensive design and development services:
- Standard-compliant technical drawings & complete documentation
- Feasibility studies and analyses
- Layout and concept creation
- FEM and CFD analyses for optimization
- Development of individual special solutions
Our rapid prototyping service transforms ideas into tangible models in the shortest possible time - from functional samples to true-to-scale presentation models. This allows designs to be validated at an early stage and development times to be significantly reduced.
Core services:
- In-house 3D printing for fast functional models
- Transparent models for flow studies
- Metal and plastic variants for load tests
- Component dummies for package and installation tests
Project examples
In the field of electric drives, we develop tailored solutions for efficient and safe systems—from housings to gearbox integration:
- Development of housings and media-carrying components, including oil management systems
- Design and optimization of gearbox housings for electric motors
Our expertise encompasses all essential components of modern internal combustion engines – from the development of individual components to the optimization of complete systems:
- Development of cylinder heads including camshaft interface
- Design and optimization of crankcases
- Development of complete cranktrains (pistons, connecting rods, timing drives)
- Design of oil pans and oil pumps
- Optimization of intake and exhaust systems
For forward-looking energy systems we offer development and integration services that ensure functionality, safety, and efficiency:
- Integration of high-voltage batteries and power electronics
- Development and integration of fuel cell stacks
- Design of air compressors and media-carrying components for fuel cells
We check and optimize the integration of assemblies and components – for smooth installation and efficient assembly processes:
- Installation of units (longitudinal or transverse) for combustion and electric motors
- Design and optimization of media-carrying components
- Development of intake manifold and exhaust systems
With rapid prototyping, we make ideas quickly tangible and support your development with functional prototypes and models:
- Functional models and dummy components for package and installation tests
- Transparent models for flow analyses
- Presentation models in original size or to scale for internal approvals
- Metal and plastic prototypes for functional and load tests
