We were delighted to welcome second-year students from Solent University for a tour of our facilities and an insight into our technically-refined design and manufacturing processes last week.
During the visit, students saw how we deliver a seamless workflow, from initial CFD modelling to identify the optimum propeller design, through to robotic cutting of moulds and 5-axis CNC machining. This integrated approach ensures the finished product precisely matches the original design intent.
By maintaining this level of accuracy and consistency, we give our customers confidence that our propellers and sterngear will deliver the expected efficiency gains and performance improvements in real-world conditions.
With the marine industry continuing to focus on greater efficiency and sustainability, it was a pleasure to demonstrate how our processes can achieve efficiency gains of up to 10% compared with standard manufacturing methods.
Thank you to Giles and the students for visiting. We always enjoy sharing what we do and supporting the next generation of marine engineers.
