After choosing Idé-Pro as supplier, Louis Poulsen receives high-pressure die cast (HPDC) parts in the quality and speed they require and avoid tool changes by means of Idé-Pro's simulations.
Louis Poulsen manufactures exclusive designer lamps and lighting, requiring various light metal parts. For Louis Poulsen, it was a big decision to work with a new supplier, but after choosing Idé-Pro, they have since received light metal parts in the exact quality and speed they wanted. Changing suppliers also had a positive environmental impact for Danish Louis Poulsen, as Idé-Pro operates in Denmark:
''We reach the desired parts faster with a more sustainable production of light metal parts.''
Bjarne Hechmann, Senior Manager Product Engineering, Louis Poulsen
Bjarne Hechmann adds that a number of Louis Poulsens aluminium parts have specific surface requirements. With Idé-Pro's skills and ability to simulate a casting process, Louis Poulsen's tools are now designed to ensure the requirements, even before the first part is cast. By that, Louis Poulsen avoids tool changes. Lastly, Bjarne Hechmann says:
''I would recommend Idé-Pro to other Nordic companies that need a competent supplier of HPDC aluminium parts produced in Denmark.''
Idé-Pro delivers both HPDC prototype parts and low-volume production parts for Louis Poulsen, the majority of which are cast in recycled aluminium.
