EXPERTISE AND CONSULTING
CLIENT FOCUSED AND SOLUTION DRIVEN
Technology
TPM uses the latest technology throughout our foundry. Additive manufacturing or rapid prototyping is an example of an evolving technology to better serve our client's needs. The use of computer printed patterns eliminates the need for a wax tool, reducing overall process time. This option can help our clients get their product faster.
Research & Development
TPM's R&D team is working to use robotics in the production process. Utilizing this advanced technology TPM has the ability to streamline the manufacturing process, improve quality and reduce lead times.
Quality
TPM adheres to high quality standards for all customers. We follow the industry’s standards for our processes as well as digital inspections and customer supplied gauges to meet the specifications they require. A benefit to our process is it is repeatable so the product will remain the same. This helps to keep a consistent quality that our customers expect.
Constant Collaboration
TPM wants our customers to be confident and comfortable when they choose to work with us from the beginning of their project through their products life cycle.
