Technical experience
Know-how gained on complex projects and industrial clients with high requirements.
/ Design & prototyping
From design to series production.
We support the customer in the development of metal components, transforming a design or functional requirement into a reliable, controlled and replicable production process.
CAD / real prototypeA technical partner
Design with production in mind.
The RECA team analyzes geometries, materials, tolerances, volumes and critical issues. The objective is not only to create the first piece, but to define from the beginning the most effective path to produce it consistently, from the prototype to the series.
Internal equipment
Internal design and production of dedicated tools, templates and gauges.
Quick responses
Lean structure, fast prototyping and direct comparison during development.
The RECA process
Six steps, one productive goal.
Each phase generates data and checks useful for the next, reducing uncertainties before starting production.
Design and requirements
We evaluate the component, the material, the tolerances, the expected quantities and the required performances.
Productive hypothesis
We define the sequence of processes and prepare a transparent technical quotation.
First piece
We create the prototype to verify the shape, couplings, function and feasibility of the cycle.
Ad hoc tools
We design dedicated dies, welding templates and control gauges internally.
Pre-series
Pre-series allows parameters, controls and repeatability to be stabilized before approval.
Controlled series
The validated process moves on to production, with controls defined for each work phase.
Development times
A clear path, from the request to the standard piece.
This diagram shows an example of a project developed by RECA: estimate and process hypothesis, prototype, equipment, pre-series and start of production.

Indicative example taken from a RECA project. Durations and overlaps vary depending on geometry, materials, equipment and customer approvals.
A real case
From the idea to the finished component.
The virtual studio checks for clutter and interference; the dedicated equipment makes the shape possible; the physical prototype confirms the result before the series.
Verification and control
Every technical choice must become measurable.
Validation is not limited to the prototype. Materials, machine parameters and component characteristics are monitored throughout the process, with controls suited to the function of the piece.
Incoming materials
Compliance control and management of material certificates.
Process parameters
Work orders by phase with defined parameters and checks.
3D control
Verification of curvatures and machine configuration with measurement systems.
Dedicated calibres
Specific templates and gauges to check shape and repeatability.
Qualified welding
Qualified processes and operators based on project needs.
Functional tests
Aesthetic, dimensional checks and leak tests when required.
Technical estimate
The cost arises from the process, not from a generic estimate.
Material
Pipe, sheet or starting component, quantities and specifications required.
Processes
Cutting, bending, stamping, welding and complementary phases.
Equipment
Bending tools, welding jigs and production equipment.
Controls
Dedicated gauges, dimensional checks and tests foreseen by the project.
