Get the Return Without the Investment – ESI and DFM

Although most customers seeking metal manufacturing services submit their own drawings and specifications for metal fabricated parts, using an in-house engineering team can be crucial, especially for complex stamping or fabrication.
This is why Larsen’s Team is successful with assisting Customers with both Early Supplier Involvement and Design For Manufacturability.

While dimensions, and some details, are included in the design specifications, they usually do not outline the custom plan needed to achieve the proper results. This is where an in-house engineering team provides a greater value on your investment. Here’s is why:

Invaluable Technical Assistance

The tooling engineer has a better grasp on the newest technologies and most efficient design trends. A keen understanding of the different features of metals will determine the best choice for your projects. These progressive practices in manufacturing are imperative to maximizing efficiency and quality from beginning to end product.

In-house engineers ask questions to help identify manufacturing processes and possible overengineering in specifications. Early involvement of an internal team provides insightful and cost-reducing input, which in turn impacts cost, efficiency, and return on investment.

Cost Reductions

Not all outsourced engineers are familiar with precision metal manufacturing processes. However, Larsen understands that designing and engineering a product specifically for each process, not only reduces cost, but also allows for potential problems to be addressed during the design phase, eliminating future complications.

Customers open to collaborating with our internal engineering team, typically end up with a better product at a lower cost. Not only does this engineering support create efficiency in our system, but it also provides increased convenience for the customer.

Larsen is proud to offer this value-added service because many metal fabrication companies do not. To take advantage of this opportunity for your project, call us at 847-970-9600.
