Product design

Arkal excels at helping our customers meet and exceed aggressive targets for weight reduction, safety performance and cost reduction by offering a one-stop process that integrates Smart Product Design, Efficient Process Design and Automated Production under one roof.
We see every project as a challenge to implement our belief that smart design is the key to lighter weight, higher performance products.

Our smart product design philosophy is guided by taking the following steps:

• Saving weight
• Lowering cost
• Improving performance
• Optimal material choice
• Efficient manufacturing
• Component integration

Throughout every step of the design optimization process, we cooperate closely with our customers to ensure that the highest levels of design are reached for each specific part:

    • Receive initial customer design
                               ↓       
     • FEA (structural analysis)
                              ↑↓
     • New geometry (iterative process with FEA)
                               ↓                
     • Design optimization
                               ↓           
     • Finally, we provide a viable "Lighter, Smarter, Better" design
