From tool supplier to technology partner

Walter considers itself to be a digital process partner and is therefore developing tools which are ever more closely related to applications in the sense of "component solutions". This requires an entire team of specialists. Appropriate CAD/CAM skills are a key prerequisite for complete evaluation of the processes. Walter caters to its customers' needs and offers tools, solutions and services throughout the entire process.

With regard to this development, Walter developed the "Component Solutions" project in collaboration with the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre at the University of Sheffield some time ago. In the course of the project, special machining strategies were developed for all pocket shapes occurring for structural components, using the CAM programs commonly used in the aviations and aerospace industry. This "toolbox" enables a suitable machining process to be quickly and efficiently derived from a 3D model of a customer component.

Highest quality in the shortest time

"Good things come to those who wait" no longer rings true today. Even high-performance tools with customer-specific special dimensions are subject to immense time pressure. Since the beginning of the year, Walter has therefore been offering the long-established Walter Xpress service especially for the aerospace sector too. Xpress tool solutions are available for delivery within two to a maximum of three weeks. The speed starts from the ordering process itself. The my.Walter software solution enables the customer to design the tool online themselves or together with a trained field service employee. With "Walter Online Xpress", the customer receives a binding quotation including a 2D drawing and 3D model by e-mail within a maximum of one hour. The order itself, which is frequently a bottleneck within the company, is also significantly accelerated using Walter tool management.
