Material, geometry, quantities and tolerances:
Choosing the production process is one of the most important decisions in the sourcing process. We help you make the right one.
Through our global network of specialised manufacturing partners, we produce your parts where quality and cost effectiveness come together best. From one-off production to high-volume series. From Europe to Asia – local accountability, global reach.
Precision machining – turning, milling, grinding
Ideal for precise turned, milled and ground parts in any common material – prototypes, small batches and parts with tight tolerances.
- CNC turning (also with driven tools)
- CNC milling (conventional and 5-axis)
- Grinding (cylindrical, surface and profile grinding)
Sheet metal engineering – punching, bending, laser cutting
For flat and three-dimensionally formed sheet metal parts. From punched parts in high-volume production to laser-cut prototypes – including welded assemblies.
- Punching and cutting
- Press braking and bending
- Laser cutting
- Welding (MIG/MAG, TIG, spot welding)
SLIC pins – self-locking joints
Press-in, self-locking joining elements for fast, tool-free assembly. A cost-effective alternative to screws and rivets – especially for series production and automated processes.
- Fast, tool-free assembly and disassembly
- High holding forces with minimal installation space
- Ideal for series assembly and automated processes
Joining elements – screws, nuts, special parts
Our core business: special parts and joining elements in all common materials, strength classes and surface finishes. From a standard screw to a complex drawing part – procured, inspected and managed end-to-end from a single source.
- Screws, nuts, bolts, pins and washers
- Special and drawing parts to customer specification
- All common materials, strength classes and surface finishes
Finding the ideal production process
The choice of process directly affects the cost, lead time and quality of your part. That is why we advise you on every project:
- Small quantities, complex geometries? → Machining
- Flat parts, contours, assemblies? → Sheet metal engineering
- High quantities, symmetrical parts? → Forming
- Combination of production processes → Forming for the basic shape, machining for finishing operations
Our engineers evaluate requests individually to identify the most cost-effective manufacturing method before you even place an order.
Quality assurance across all processes
Regardless of the production process, every delivery is checked in our own testing laboratory. We inspect dimensions, materials and surfaces. Test documents, declarations of conformity and traceability back to the raw material are standard for us.
You do not need to decide on your own. Send us your drawing or describe your part – our engineers will recommend the most economical process and explain the choice transparently. At Daniel Gruppe, we don't just process orders; we apply Value Engineering to every complex enquiry. Our engineers analyze your requirements to ensure the perfect balance between technical necessity and economic efficiency.
- Process Optimization: We evaluate if a different manufacturing method (e.g., switching from machining to cold forging) can reduce unit costs while maintaining part integrity.
- Material Efficiency: We suggest alternative materials or surface treatments that meet your specifications at a more competitive price point.
- Design for Manufacturing (DfM): Minor adjustments in geometry can often lead to significant savings in production time and tool wear.
The result: You receive a component that is technically superior and commercially optimized for the German Mittelstand."
The right process determines cost and quality.
We advise you – from prototype to high-volume series.
