About Talsing
Talsing is a Baltic region company focused on developing and manufacturing innovative and simple to use forestry machines and their components. The fast growing company produces both replacement parts and original solutions for heavy duty harvesters.
Company’s products are exported to forestry companies that operate in Scandinavia and mainland Europe.
Talsing saw a market opportunity to start manufacturing replacement part for log grabbers that forest harvesters use. Due to the nature of the work these grabbers often require replacements parts or a full replacement for the grabber is needed.
Properly working and well maintained harvester parts reduce the cost on machinery and allow clients to keep the machines running for longer and without breakdowns thus improving the bottom line.
How Talsing uses GrabCAD
Producing replacement parts, however, is only one part of Talsing’s product line, they have taken the proven concept and construction of the log grabber and improved upon the original design. To do that Talsing turned to GrabCAD to use the virtual engineer service and get the drawings required for machining said pieces.
Talsing uses GrabCAD to turn scanned product sketches into technical drawings suitable for manufacturing. At the same time they get rendered images of the parts that are sent to subcontractors for illustration purposes.
Technical drawings are also used to check if all assembly parts are compatible with existing product. This saves time in the production phase as only one prototype is needed to check results in real life.
Sourcing an engineer via GrabCAD is a straight forward process. Using the online order form Talsing gets an immediate quote and the order is checked by GrabCAD’s senior engineer. The order is then matched to the best available engineer based on their background and experience and before accessing work details the engineers need to sign an NDA.
As a regular customer Talsing is now working with couple of engineers who have done all their work, know the background, details, requirements.
Before delivering work back to Talsing GrabCAD’s senior engineer double checkes the quality of the finished file.
For Talsing the finished work was DXW files that they use to laser cut parts of the log grabbers.
The whole process uses our online collaboration environment and project tracking so the client is always aware of the job status and can access remarks and finished files.
Using GrabCAD’s on demand engineering resource helps Talsing cut product development time down by 50% and improves their bottom line.
