Your project, in focus
Where are you starting from?
Choose the stage closest to yours. Here’s how we could use our conversation at SME27.
Start the conversation
What does your component need to do?
Start with the application, the problem you’re solving and the features that matter. We can explore the questions to address before developing your design.
A useful next step
Identify the functional requirements and information needed to develop your brief.
Start the conversation
How can your design move towards manufacture?
Bring drawings, CAD images or a sample. Discuss material options, design for manufacture and the tooling considerations that need further review.
A useful next step
Agree which design details and specifications need assessing before the project progresses.
Start the conversation
What needs to be in place for production?
Talk through expected volumes, launch timing, quality requirements and any assembly or packaging needs. We can establish what is needed to assess the work.
A useful next step
Identify the information required for a production assessment and a more detailed commercial discussion.
From brief to manufacture
The questions behind a production-ready part.
Your project connects design, materials, tooling and supply. Let’s explore how those decisions work together.
What must your part achieve?
Function, fit, appearance and operating conditions establish what a successful component needs to deliver.
A question to bring: “Which requirements should we define before developing the design?”
How will it be manufactured?
Discuss geometry, material options and tooling requirements together. We can explore design for manufacture and where further technical assessment would help.
A question to bring: “Are there features we should review before committing to tooling?”
What does production need to deliver?
Estimated volumes, timing and quality requirements help frame the production discussion, including assembly, packaging and delivery.
A question to bring: “What information do you need to assess our production requirements?”
Make the meeting count
Bring a challenge. Leave with a clearer plan.
01
Your starting point
Explain the application and where you are now. A sketch, drawing or sample can help, but an early idea is welcome.
02
A practical discussion
Explore the decisions ahead with our team, using real components to make the manufacturing questions tangible.
03
An agreed next step
Identify what needs reviewing, which information is missing and how to continue the conversation after the show.
The first conversation helps establish a route forward. Detailed technical assessment and quotations may require further information.
Prepare for your conversation
An idea is enough to start. A few details help us go further.
Bring what you have. These details can help make our time together more useful.
Your part or concept
Drawings, CAD images, sketches or a physical sample.
What it needs to do
Function, environment, appearance and key performance requirements.
Your production expectations
Estimated volumes, target timing and assembly or packaging needs.
My design isn’t finished. Can we still talk?
Yes. Tell us what you want to achieve and where you are in development. We can identify the questions and next steps together.
What about confidential information?
Let us know before sharing sensitive details so we can discuss confidentiality requirements and agree how to exchange information.
Your next project
Let’s explore what comes next.
Meet us at stand C320, arrange a conversation or tell us about your project today.
