EDAG Engineering GmbH

The ability of EDAG to define, specify and develop vehicle and system technologies is the basis of our technology leadership and our excellent reputation in the market. Collaboration within EDAG drives innovation. Successful examples of the use of additive manufacturing include the "media-less gripper," which can save energy and also space in the factory of the future. The LightHinge+ hood hinge fully exploits the potential of additive manufacturing through efficient software-supported engineering. It thus achieves 50% weight reduction and the integration of a pedestrian protection function in distortion- and residual stress-optimized tool-less manufacturing with low rework for small series. The NextGen Spaceframe 2.0 demonstrates how an end-to-end engineering data process chain for both AM and load-path-optimized extruded profiles can realize load-level-optimized car bodies.
