ces have to be fixed before the final com-
ponents are known. The present and future
challenges demand something different:
Components and component groups are be-
coming more and more complex, develop-

getting closer and the speed of production
cycles is increasing. Regarding modern high-
strength materials, requirements are also in-
tensifying.
