Gunnar and Scheurer Swiss enter into digital partnership

Two renowned Swiss fibre composite specialists, Gunnar and Scheurer Swiss have announced they are joining forces to offer a global, joint solution portfolio.

Manufacturing companies are faced with the challenge of making their own value chain more and more completely digital. Among other things, this also brings major challenges in the area of investments. In order to make it easier for SME companies in the manufacturing environment of fibre composite material processing to gain access to a complete, digitally-oriented production process, Gunnar and its partner company Scheurer Swiss now offer a comprehensive service portfolio in this area.

The focus is on services in the following main areas, whereby the offer can be fully individualised in parts or completely: 3D component development using CAD; processing of computer-aided conversion of 3D to 2D data and definition of the individual layers (shape, size) based on component structure analysis; template digitisation for computer-aided processing and further development of the data; 2D cutting data generation and cutting data optimisation for use on Gunnar cutting table; cutting data optimisation with focus on material resource optimisation (nesting).

Gunnar offers hardware and software solutions for every work area. Since extensive investments in peripheral processes do not pay off for all companies, but the digital focus in the manufacturing process of fibre composite components can hardly be avoided anymore. Gunnar and Scheurer Swiss see a clear market need in the offer of digital services in this area. Both partner companies have already successfully networked their first customers.

They are enthusiastic about the complementary service offering of the two fibre composite specialists and were able to benefit from the new partnership. For example, previously complex and costly work steps and processes could be massively simplified and thus made more efficient by means of digitalisation, or existing CAD cutting data could be successfully adapted to new conditions in the shortest possible time.

At last year’s Composites Europe, held in Stuttgart, Gunnar and Scheurer Swiss joined forces and appeared together under the label ‘Process Live’ in the sense of future-oriented, intelligent and digital production of fibre composite components. This official partnership extends the cooperation to further trade fairs, and at this year's JEC World in Paris, the two companies will again be promoting the joint, forward-looking project of the digital solution as a service.
