We develop each part in 3D CAD and look at multiple details such as drafts and component fits. For many years now, Berco makes use of the automotive standard with software packages such as Catia and Unigraphics NX.
In this phase, we define our materials, production methods, and surface treatments such as coatings and colors.
Where necessary, we perform FEM simulations to tackle future risks as much as possible.
3D designs are then evaluated with the use of physical prototypes. This can be as for example, in the form of 3D prints, milled parts, pressed or cast metal components. We make optimal use of our network of quality prototype suppliers.
Prototypes are then evaluated functionally and aesthetically. In most cases, there are several test builds in the truck cab and we evaluate the assembly and service of the product.
