We design the future
Engineering excellence for innovative industries
What began as a vision of founders and managing directors Dr. Dietmar Freitag und Dr. Frank Mannewitz has now become reality.
Since 1995, the engineering excellence of casim GmbH & Co. KG has been growing continuously – in line with the demands and expectations of our customers. The decisive factors for our success are the same as they have always been – specialised expert knowledge and our insistence on staying close to our customers.
Design
Focus on critical success factors
casim, based in Kassel and one of the largest engineering consultants in north Hesse, can offer an impressively large range of CAD systems. However, casim does not limit itself exclusively to CAD design (2D and 3D) – calculating and optimising components using FEA are all in a day’s work for us.
Simulation
From virtual to real
One of casim‘s strengths is that experienced designers and highly specialised calculation engineers work here side by side; in combination with years of experience in engineering calculations, this means excellent simulation models that provide meaningful results for your products. casim has its own laboratory with the necessary measurement technology for carrying out verification and validation processes.
Measurement Technology
Don’t just hope for the best - know for certain!
Will the articulated joint of a bendy bus stand up to workaday stress and strain? Will the underground chamber of a hydroelectric power station withstand start-up water pressure? Will the bearings of an industrial spin-dryer hold out under the stress at maximum revolutions?
These are only a few of the questions that we have been able to answer for our customers using our measurement technology.
Risk Management
Far-sighted control of product and process quality
For products to be successful – and to save time and expense during product development and manufacture – it is a vital to reduce or, even better, completely eliminate potential risks. We use failure mode and effect analysis – FMEA for short – to achieve this objective. In combination with other preventive quality assurance methods, such as tolerance management, this opens up a wide range of possibilities for product and process optimisation.
Tolerance Management
Precision is about definition
How can I minimize product development and manufacturing costs without endangering product quality? Which is the best concept for joints in my product? If I want to assure the level of quality during critical sub-assembly functions, what requirements does the production of individual parts have to fulfil regarding process capability index Cp and lowest process capability index value Cpk? What are the maximum tolerances I can assign? – Tolerance management helps to supply the answers to all these (and other) questions at an early stage, enabling you to meet quality, cost and schedule targets during product development.
simtol
Fast and reliable statistical tolerance analyses
Statistical tolerance analyses help you to meet quality, cost and time schedule targets during product development. However, this potential can only be realised when developers or designers carry out tolerance analyses supported by software that is easy to use (especially when it is only used temporarily), delivers sound results with clear indications of optimisation possibilities, and creates transparent, standardised documentation.
