    Automotive

    Tebis has its roots in the automotive industry. The first users worked in automotive model making. The first OEMs were acquired as customers in the 1980s, and we’ve since expanded systematically so that Tebis is now used by car manufacturers around the world. Tebis CAD/CAM systems are used in a wide range of applications in the automotive industry. And Tebis products are also implemented on the organizational level with the ProLeiS MES.

    From concept to series production

    As soon as the concept for a new car leaves the drawing board, Tebis is used to produce form development models at the highest quality. Automated CAD/CAM processes are then used to create resources for all types of components used in the automotive industry. Tebis provides true-to-life digital twins for programming final processing of parts in series production.

    Design

    In automotive form development, Tebis supports you in tasks like creating clay models on milling machines. This is combined with reverse engineering to refine the CAD model following manual work on the clay model. The surfaces can be then used for more design tasks. 

    Prototypes/pilot series

    In prototype and pilot series construction, you’ll appreciate the great flexibility and many different methods for producing parts, molds and dies for the first vehicles using Tebis. Parts are quickly developed that barely differ in form and function from the subsequent series parts.

    Sheet-metal parts

    You can design the die surfaces for the sheet-metal forming tools and compensate for springback with Tebis. And stable CAD/CAM process chains from Tebis are firmly established, planned and controlled with ProLeiS MES in manufacturing the many individual parts of the die sets. 

    Plastic parts

    You can use high-precision, dynamic 5-axis machines and networked cells for electrode manufacturing and sinker EDM to produce injection molds for visible and functional parts that meet all the requirements of the automotive industry. The Tebis CAD/CAM strategies help you achieve the best surface quality. 

    Metal parts

    Tebis supports you with standardized and automated CAD/CAM processes in the production of core boxes, gravity die casting and die casting molds as well as dies for cast and forged parts. These are based on digital twins of the manufacturing resources – which are also used for simulation and verification – for optimal and reliable processes

    Fixtures and gauges

    Complex individual parts have to be precisely manufactured in order to be assembled in fixtures and gauges. Tebis puts the right tools at your fingertips. From deriving the design for the fixture or gauge from the article to all CAD/CAM manufacturing technologies.

    Series production

    You can create efficient NC programs with Tebis that meet all the requirements for the surface and geometry for remachining cast and forged parts in series production. Complete access to the NC programming keeps you flexible in the event of modifications to the component or the manufacturing process. 

    Laser trimming

    Hard materials, hydroformed parts and niche models: There are always reasons for laser cutting sheet-metal parts, even in series production.  It's good to know that you can easily, flexibly and reliably create CNC programs for this with Tebis – for standard machines, robots or special systems.

    Our customers

    Automotive companies around the world use Tebis solutions and benefit from our comprehensive service. Read why they decided on Tebis.

    Best practice for consistent design

    "For a model of medium complexity, developing high-quality CAD design surfaces for the outer skin of a vehicle now takes roughly 50 hours. (Previously, it took about twice the time.)"

    BMW Design Group, Munich

    Tebis process solutions at Volkswagen

    "Even if just one pressure area was overlooked in the process, the correction cost us up to 10,000 Euros. Today, for example, we install dies for doors that we previously had to rework directly in the press for roughly 160 hours"
