PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT CASE STUDY: CASTING TO STAMPING

This part had been previously produced using a casting process.  MES’s product engineers redesigned the part utilizing our Wrapped Tubular Stamping Technology and developed successful prototypes allowing the customer to prove out the product change.  Through early research and development coupled with hard tool prototyping leading to mass production this new part eliminated the cast design and the need for an expensive secondary machining process.  The results was a significant cost reduction for our customer.
