Industry: Heavy Truck Manufacturing

SUCCESS STORIES | Case Study 3

The Challenge:

PPF identified a heavy steel weldment in the assembly of a truck exhaust system.

Understanding that the truck assembly was both weight and cost sensitive, PPF designed a cast geometry four pounds lighter and less costly to produce.

 

PPF’s Solution:

  • Supplied with application loading information and boundry conditions. PPF designed an alternative geometry and verified its castability.

“PPF was able to achieve an overall reduction in part mass as well as our customer's acquisition cost.”
