Engineering

Design

In the initial step, we discuss the client’ requirements and get a complete understanding of the expectations. We determine the specific structural, aesthetic, performance, environmental, and economic parameters that need to be met. Using our in-house Computer Aided Design (CAD), Finite Element Analysis (FEA) technology and expertise, we create a design concept that integrates with your new or re-engineered product.

Prototyping

We pride ourselves in our ability to develop prototypes in quick turnaround time. We produce accurate prototypes with careful attention to aesthetics as well as functional requirements. All our prototypes undergo rigorous testing procedures before being submitted to the customer. Prototypes can come from single cavity Protomold’s or 3D printed SLA’s.

Testing & Validation

We use in-house testing instruments and equipment to check the quality and performance of each product that is developed in our production facility. Our concept validation process includes performance verification for a variety of characteristics.

Tooling

CEW holds an important place in the wheel manufacturing and design industry. The key to this lies in our proprietary manufacturing process, which starts with proper tooling and mold design. Before the tooling design begins, we review volume, aesthetics, product life cycle, price sensitivity, wheel structure, and process repeatability. We use a systematic and disciplined approach – and then we create the tooling to meet each customer’s needs with precision.

Manufacturing

We employ Statistical Process Control (SPC) techniques to monitor product quality and to identify non-conformities before they take place. Rigorously scheduled preventative maintenance minimizes machine downtime.

Assembly

Once the final part is produced, it is finished to make it look aesthetically appealing. This process comprises removing oil, cleaning the part, removal of runners, if any, painting, final assembly, and packaging.

Logistics

With 63,500 Sq ft of warehouse space and 16 Dock doors for outbound product, we are able to meet any shipping requirements you might have. We have barcode and returnable capabilities and are compliant with EDI. Our customer service department is in continuous contact with scheduling, production and shipping to make sure everything goes smoothly.
