Parker Hannifin's Introduction to Lost Foam Adds Value

摘要

When Parker Hannifin, Cleveland, approached BRP US Inc., Spruce Pine, N.C., to cast a fuel filter housing for Daimler trucks, it was the company's first foray into lost foam production casting. It was up to BRP to illuminate the abilities of the process to improve not only the design of the single part, but the entire application. "Unlimited design potential is the first part of lost foam we have to educate our customers about," said Chris Campbell, head of lost foam/business development at BRP "The customer might bring to us a design that has been finalized for another process. Our challenge is to work with the end company to incorporate more into a single casting."
