Engineering

CAD engineering

The close cooperation with our customers starts right at the beginning of the process chain, in the development phase. In order to ensure that our customers' production processes run smoothly, DAST combines practical know-how with the latest design technologies in the development of their tools. The coordinated tool concepts determine quality, price and deadline.

Design and manufacturing from a single source means for our customers: A closed-centre and flexible process chain that minimises errors and saves time.

Simulation

Virtual validation through forming simulations (drawing / post-forming / springback) of your parts.

In order to achieve the best possible results, we look very closely for creasing, cracking or thinning of the material.

The simulation enables the forming process to be positively influenced at a very early stage.

We use CATIA V5, Siemens NX and Tebis to design

  • Prototype tools
  • Mould making
  • Cubing
  • Gauge production
  • Jig construction
  • Surface design
  • Reverse Engineering
  • Incorporation of component changes

DAST GmbH & Co. KG has the latest 3D programming workstations using Tebis and Delcam. Our committed and competent employees form the interface for a perfect know-how transfer between programming and production.

The use of simulation technologies supports the interdepartmental know-how and ensures smooth and competent CNC machining.

The quality awareness of our employees in CAM programming forms the basis for the high-quality results in our production.

Manufacturing & assembly

The latest machines with future technology are the basis for higher efficiency in the working process and the quality standard that you will find in the product and that will give you a good feeling for a long time.

Sheet metal forming & trimming tools

Whether prototypes, small series or series tools: Do you need a partner for holistic solutions or an extended workbench? Then you’ve come to the right address with your project!

Our specialisation includes predominantly tools for the production of outer skin parts, such as side walls, bonnets, roofs, wings, doors and tools for structural parts and much more.

Starting with the cutting of the blanks through the drawing and folding, trimming and punching with slider functions, calibration and post-forming, tapping punches and folding beds.

The scope of services includes:

  • Simulation and engineering
  • Material procurement (castings and ingots, standard and purchased parts)
  • Large-part machining
  • Small-part machining (blades, jaws, inserts)
  • Assembly, function testing using a 120 tonne spotting press
  • Surface finishing

Hydroforming moulds

Tools that provide the best results and high satisfaction under high pressure.

With know-how and technical innovation, our team guarantees optimum solutions tailored to the respective task, driven by the desire to achieve the best result for every area of application.

Foaming moulds for:

  • PE parts
  • PUR parts
  • EPP parts
  • RIM

Composite

  • RTM moulds
  • RTM light moulds
  • SMC moulds
  • GMT moulds

Tools for the production of aluminium castings

  • Die-casting moulds
  • Mould tools

Deep drawing tools & thermoforming

Depending on the requirements, thermoforming moulds are made of ureol (polyurethane and epoxy resin) from the solid material for prototypes and small production runs.

Aluminium ingots, cast aluminium or volume casting are used for series production moulds or for large quantities.

Cast aluminium allows near-net-shape, efficient heat treatment that has a positive effect on the whole process.

  • Thermoforming moulds
  • Twin-sheet moulds

Jig construction

  • Measuring devices
  • Test gauges
  • Positioning devices
  • Assembly devices
  • Trimming devices
  • Vacuum clamping devices
  • Clamping, drilling and bending devices
  • Gluing devices

Composites & design model making

At DAST, your ideas and projects find a partner to support you with experience, know-how and passion - from the idea through to series production.

The product portfolio starts with the simple ureol moulds for hand laminates through moulds for use in autoclaves up to prototypes, design models and illustrative models.

  • Machining of different block materials made of polyurethane and epoxy resin for master models and simple moulds for prototype production
  • Milling of foams and foam cores

Large part machining
Single part & small series machining
Machining of castings
