Prototyping & industrialization
Manufacturing, assembly and system integration from a single source
VELA transforms digital product developments into real, functional products. To achieve this, we coordinate the manufacturing of the necessary components, handle assembly and technical integration, and build prototypes, assemblies, or complete systems.
Even in prototype development, we take later series production into account. Manufacturing processes, materials, tools, supply chains and quality requirements are coordinated in such a way that the first real-world implementation can result in an economically and reliably producible series solution.

Component manufacturing with precision and systems understanding
VELA produces high-quality components made of metal, plastic, composite and hybrid material combinations.
Materials, design and manufacturing processes are specifically tailored to function, quantity, quality and cost-effectiveness.
Metallic precision components
manufactured to meet high functional requirements
VELA manufactures metallic components and structures from aluminum, steel, stainless steel, and other technical alloys. Manufacturing processes, materials, and surface treatments are selected to suit the load, quantity, and installation situation.

Surface and functional finishing
VELA creates sophisticated prototypes, assemblies, and complete product setups – regardless of the complexity of the geometries, material combinations, or technical interfaces. Our specialists coordinate component manufacturing, handle assembly and functional integration, and bring all components together to form a testable prototype.
We don't view the prototype as a unique, one-off piece. Manufacturing processes, materials, joining techniques, tolerances, and assembly procedures are already tailored to later industrialization. This allows us to test functions early on, implement targeted optimizations, and prepare economically viable series production solutions.
Complex structures from a single source
A central contact person for manufacturing, assembly and integration
Series readiness considered from the start
Materials and processes already designed economically in prototype construction
Faster to a product ready for testing
Short coordination channels and direct technical feedback
Lower development and production risk
Functions, interfaces and manufacturability secured early on
From prototype to production-ready solution
VELA develops prototypes from the outset with a view to their later series production. Design, materials, manufacturing processes, tolerances and assembly processes are designed to create economically producible and reproducible components, assemblies and systems.
As a system supplier, VELA can also coordinate procurement, manufacturing, assembly and quality assurance up to on-time series delivery, if desired.
