How we consolidated a two-part assembly into a single aerospace-grade component, cut the client's procurement cost by 38%, and turned a one-part project into an ongoing sourcing partnership.
Molded Nozzle, Machined Threads: A Hybrid Process That Cut Costs 12%
An unscrewing mold would have eaten the savings before the first shot. Instead we molded the nozzle body in UV-stabilized ABS and CNC-cut the 2″ NPT threads — one integrated part, 12% under the client's original sourcing quotes.
