There are many reasons why a manufacturer may consider switching fabrications, weldments and assemblies for castings. Often, fabrication was chosen as the initial manufacturing approach because the design engineer’s focus was on time to market. In many instances, revisiting the chosen manufacturing approach at a later date, when performance improvements, cost reductions, weight savings or aesthetic improvements are required, can deliver significant benefits.
At NovaCast we have worked with equipment manufacturers in the agricultural machinery and transportation sectors to deliver cost and performance improvements while simplifying the manufacturing process by eliminating several steps in the process.
