CAD Design

Computer-Aided Design (CAD) is a core part of how we develop and refine spring and pressing components at European Springs & Pressings. It allows us to move quickly from concept to production, with full control over every detail.

Using CAD, we generate accurate models, test functionality, and fine-tune tolerances before any material is cut or formed. This approach shortens development time and helps ensure parts perform as expected.

How We Use CAD

Our CAD tools integrate directly with production systems, helping us design and deliver better parts. Here’s how we use it:

  • Custom Product DesignWe create detailed 2D and 3D models for bespoke components. This includes compression springs for automotive crash sensors, battery contact springs for electronics, and complex pressings for control panels.
  • Prototyping and Testing:  Virtual models are used to simulate stress, movement, and temperature effects—especially useful when working with thin-gauge pressings or high-cycle springs.
  • Manufacturing Integration: CAD files are used to drive CNC tools and automated machinery, linking design directly to production for faster turnaround and consistent results.
  • Complex Assembly Planning: Where multiple components fit together, CAD helps check alignment, clearance, and performance as a system. This is useful when designing spring-loaded mechanisms or layered pressing assemblies.
  • Design Improvement: Existing designs can be imported and reviewed. Using CAD simulation, we can identify where material can be reduced or performance improved—cutting costs without compromising durability.

Custom CAD Support

We offer full CAD support for both standard and custom work. Whether you’re developing a new part or refining an existing one, we can help prepare your component for production with accurate models and design input. Contact us today to discuss your CAD design needs. Our team can help translate your idea into a manufacturable component with the accuracy and speed that CAD makes possible.
