01 Benchmarks and Conceptual Planning 02 Performance Verification 03 Productivity Assessment
The planning phase before product manufacturing begins. Futaba Kogyo actively participates in manufacturer operations from the planning stages onward. Simulations and tests are utilized to verify performance. Costs, workability, and other such factors are verified and proposals made.
01 Benchmarks and Conceptual Planning Futaba Kogyo takes part in planning and design from the early stages onward (consultative design) at automobile manufacturing companies. We utilize benchmark-based analysis as well as know-how cultivated over the years in the conceptual planning and design processes. In addition, we actively promote substitution of high-tensile-strength and lightweight materials in product designs as part of an effort to create environmentally-friendly products.

02 Performance Verification We make use of computer-aided engineering (CAE) for performance verification during the conceptual design stage, which contributes to shorter product development times. Our customers demand automotive products that suppress steering wheel vibrations, possess high durability against impacts and so forth.

03 Productivity Assessment Futaba Kogyo makes full use of 3D CAD and CAE from the initial development stages onward to assess workability and productivity. By combining this approach together with know-how accumulated over many long years, we provide customers with rapid, high-quality, low-cost proposals and assessments.
