Most time isn’t lost on the shop floor — it’s lost in the communication between departments. Designers draw, manufacturers adjust, and somewhere in between, clarity gets lost. But it doesn’t have to be that way. At Vormelijk Engineering, we work toward one shared goal: making design and production collaborate, not just communicate.
1) Meetings rarely solve the real cause
Many recurring issues persist because people keep discussing symptoms instead of causes. A tight fit, a welding deviation, or an assembly sequence issue — they all stem from a poor translation between model and reality. Putting designers and manufacturers at the same table eliminates that noise immediately.
2) Visual alignment over endless discussion
A 3D model or section view says more than a hundred emails. We use visuals and prototypes as our main communication tools, making every discussion concrete. This way, you instantly see where tolerances, fits, or assembly steps go wrong — and how to fix them.
3) Short lines, faster decisions
We communicate directly with welders, press brake operators, and production planners — the people who actually make the product. No delays through layers of coordination or endless email threads, just focused discussions with the right people. That saves days — sometimes weeks.
4) Result: less noise, more results
By putting collaboration at the center, misunderstandings, revisions, and rework disappear. Design and production strengthen each other instead of correcting each other — exactly as they should.
A great design never comes from one person alone, but from the collaboration between people who truly understand how things are made.
