In our aim to build perfect Bay window cab doors we have now the doors completely digitized.
Also the tooling development is completely engineered. For the outer skin we need 7 tools in total, for the inner frame, there’s 6. Total of 13 tools for each side, so we need 26 tooling’s for both sides in total. Knowing that every tooling exist out of three casting that’s 78 casting total… believe us this is a huge project!
We started the Styrofoam now in order to start the casting of the tooling.
We expect to see first samples of the Bay window cab doors by late summer or early fall 2021.
Stay tuned for all further updates on the Bay window cab door project on our BBT Blog….
