SUCCESS STORIES | Case Study 2
The Challenge:
PPF was supplied with tooling that when used yielded a chronic defect.
Our customer's expectation was to design-out the defect while preserving the end product fit, form, and function, for a highly cosmetic application.
PPF’s Solution:
- Model existing part geometry and gating system
- Simulate the casting process to establish baseline condition
- Establish correlation between actual and simulated situation
- modify CAD geometry and tooling design using casting simulation verify elimination of defect
“PPF achieved the customer's goal of designing out the defect, while also increasing productivity and improving delivery performance.”
