Engineering

Swissturn USA understands and embraces the idea that engineering technology today is integral in the timely, successful manufacture of any product or part. Properly engineered and designed components add significant value to the end-use product, the consumers, and the companies that manufacture, sell, or distribute them.

The value of engineering

Properly and safely engineered products provide long-term value to the manufacturer. Sound engineering protects the brand’s reputation, enhances the product’s reputation in the market, and drives out unnecessary costs, sustaining the product’s competitiveness. End-use consumers also benefit from proper engineering, as they receive reliable and quality components that perform well throughout their intended life cycle. Swissturn USA has remained a leader in today’s machining and manufacturing technologies because we emphasize safe and expert engineering. 

What makes a good engineer

Many different disciplines and expertise in engineering exist and are required to drive successful product and component development. The input of engineers ensures not only the proper fit, form, and function of the final part or product but also the manufacturability of the product. Good engineers should have a broad and deep understanding of manufacturing processes irrespective of any single market, materials science, mechanical, industrial, electrical/electronic engineering principles, cutting-edge technologies, and available hardware and software tools. 

Today, engineers benefit from digitalization and advanced technologies, including CAD/CAM technology, and they should have a deep understanding of these technologies, as well as DFMEA, optimized programming, integrated assembly, and machine learning. These are critical tools for engineers, especially in today’s competitive manufacturing environment. 

Engineers must also consider the potential impact on our environment and sustainability, as well as the economic impact of the design on manufacturability. Engineers are always at the forefront of emerging technologies–artificial intelligence, robotic science, Industry 5.0, advanced material development, and more–and how they can integrate these technologies to improve the economic and environmental impact of the final product.
