About us

Sauter Engineering + Design provides engineering services for the automobile industry, also for the rail, aerospace, medical, machine construction and consumer goods industries.

Our aim is to shorten the development time of new products in the engineering work-flow, using direct creation of virtual CAD models to connect the whole CAX process chain.

Sauter Engineering + Design delivers ’Class-A Quality’ styling and 3D design from conception to interpretation, simulation and drawings of the finished product. Project management, resident engineering, documentation and the building of 3D printed prototype parts is also included.

The Sauter group offers high end optical measuring services with its main focus on applications like industrial computer tomography (CT), 3D digitizing with the ATOS 3D scanner, optical 3D coordinate measurements with the high precise TRITOP system, deformation measurements and quality control with GOM aplications. This service is used for product development and for quality assurance, material and component testing. The range of measurement ranges from small components like clockwork parts to large objects such as aircraft.

The company is based in Gempen (Switzerland) near Basel and Nufringen (Germany) near Stuttgart.The locations are certified according to QMS ISO 9001 + 27001. Our testing laboratory is accredited according to SN EN ISO/IEC 17025.

As an experienced design and engineering service provider, we offer tailor-made products for our customers.
As a customer you will get a perfect product from idea to finished CAD model.
