The CEW Advantage
Your One-Stop Shop for Custom Wheel Solutions, from Design to Delivery
The CEW Advantage: From Concept to Completion
At CEW, Inc., we understand that your project requires more than just wheels. It demands a partner who can transform your vision into a reality. We offer a comprehensive advantage that encompasses every stage of the development process, ensuring you receive high-quality, custom solutions built to your exact specifications.
Our Advantage in Action
In the initial step, we discuss the client’s requirements and get a complete understanding of the expectations. We determine the specific structural, aesthetic, performance, environmental, and economic parameters that need to be met. Using our in-house Computer Aided Design (CAD), Finite Element Analysis (FEA) technology and expertise, we create a design concept that integrates with your new or re-engineered product.
We pride ourselves on our ability to develop prototypes with a quick turnaround time. We produce accurate prototypes with careful attention to aesthetics as well as functional requirements. All our prototypes undergo rigorous testing procedures before being submitted to the customer. Prototypes can come from single cavity Protomold’s or 3D printed SLA’s.
We use in-house testing instruments and equipment to check the quality and performance of each product that is developed in our production facility. Our concept validation process includes performance verification for a variety of characteristics.
CEW holds an important place in the wheel manufacturing and design industry. The key to this lies in our proprietary manufacturing process, which starts with proper tooling and mold design. Before the tooling design begins, we review volume, aesthetics, product life cycle, price sensitivity, wheel structure, and process repeatability. We use a systematic and disciplined approach – and then we create the tooling to meet each customer’s needs with precision.
We employ Statistical Process Control (SPC) techniques to monitor product quality and to identify non-conformities before they take place. Rigorously scheduled preventative maintenance minimizes machine downtime.
