Marine Safety Device

The final part design fit all of the customer requirements, far exceeding the strength requirements. By working together on the design from the very earliest stages TPM was able best utilize the investment casting process to make the part with a single gate and at a final weight that allowed the part to not only function well but come in well under the customers expected budget. No secondary machining was needed and there was no need for welded segments. TPM’s approach made for a big win project for our customer and resulted in a lighter, stronger and much more cosmetically appealing part weeks faster than other options explored.
