What You Gain as a Pilot Tester?

Test your real parts on an industrial-grade system and assess performance under realistic production conditions.

As a pilot tester, you gain first-hand insight into achievable part quality, possible geometries, and production throughput. This provides a solid foundation for both technical evaluation and business-case calculations.

Pilot testing requires:

  • A 3D CAD model (STEP) of the part

  • A definition of quality requirements

Timelines, scope, and collaboration terms are defined through direct dialogue to ensure alignment with your application and goals.

What is the Pilot Tester Program?

AutoShape invites selected companies to evaluate the CFE-350 in real production conditions, with a focus on prototypes and small-series manufacturing.

As a pilot tester, your parts will be produced and evaluated at AutoShape’s onsite pilot production facility in BPN, Støvring, ensuring close collaboration, controlled conditions, and direct access to our technical team.
