Materials and Processes

Sokaris Ingenierie  put the validation of the manufacturing process as well as the choice of material at the heart of development. The aim is to offer a global and optimal solution that will combine the best industrial technology and the best material according to the criteria of the project. This multidisciplinary expertise also makes possible the simultaneous topological optimization of multi-components and multi-materials with consideration of assembly technologies.

DIE CASTING

Sokaris adventure started with the process of die casting. Today, this expertise gives us the opportunity to support our customers from the tooling study up to the validation of the initial samples. We also take into account the increase of the production rate and the whole manufacturing phase thanks to the intervention of our industrial partners.  »

FORGE

The parts obtained by forging are more resistant to mechanical stresses since the metal deformation generates a large number of metallurgical phenomena, both at microscopic and macroscopic level.

ELASTOMER

We take charge of mechanical design and offer serial production thanks to a network of qualified suppliers, mainly for automotive applications: powertrain, seal, shock absorption.  »
