Case study of CNC Thin sheet technology
From concept via 3D modelling to the design ready for series production, ZENTNER will make your ideas reality.
Take a look at our movie clip to gain some insights into the process flow in the area of thin sheet processing. You will be following part of the manufacturing workflow to make a computer casing, starting in the development department, continuing with the machining on the punching & laser cutting centre and finishing off at the bending centre.

A new idea is born, a new product awaits realisation. Working in close cooperation with you, we document the objectives as well as all the necessary and optional requirements relating to the envisaged product and set these out in a customer specification. Taking your requirements into consideration, we then analyse the implementation options, check them for feasibility and cost-effectiveness and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of alternative approaches with you.
Be it a simple sheet metal part, a complex assembly or a complete installation, our team of experts will give you comprehensive advice on such topics as material selection, manufacturing processes, the use of electrical and mechanical components as well as machine concept and safety.
The product concept is devised in the design phase on the basis of the customer specification and in close consultation with the customer.This phase already benefits from our extensive manufacturing expertise, which guarantees process-optimised and therefore cost-efficient implementation.
Professional project planning ensures that the deadlines and budgetary targets you have stipulated are adhered to in all the process steps of the product development.
Powerful software is a prerequisite for professional development and manufacture these days.Our CAD systems allow us to produce presentations, photorealistic colour prints as well as the visualisation and simulation of things such as the assembly and functioning even before the first parts have been produced and the first machine has been put into operation.Thanks to a consistent database, variants can be designed and manufactured very rapidly. Fully parameterised bending allowances as well as the consideration of specific machine data when making calculations for the process flow ensure accurate realisation of the 3D model and consistently high quality across any number of series batches.
All the steps of the project implementation take place on our premises.We take care to ensure that the interfacing between different processes is optimised so as to produce a seamless, continuous process chain to ensure a problem-free workflow.That way, we not only guarantee the best possible quality, but also facilitate fast and reliable prototype and sample manufacture for you and your customers.
After successful prototype release, our highly motivated manufacturing team and sophisticated machinery will ensure that your product is manufactured cost-effectively, on time and in the highest quality, from small batches to high-batch series production.
The end of a successful development cycle:
a product ready for series production, which has not only been adapted precisely to your needs, but which also satisfies your design requirements as well as ensuring cost-effective manufacture.
