Steel Castings

Rochester Hills, Mich., July 26, 2007– Auburn Engineering, Inc., leading provider of rapid prototyping and production services, is marking a decade-long partnership with Acme Casting Enterprises (Warren, Mich.), producer of casting patterns for metal component manufacturers.

Over the ten year association, Auburn Engineering has provided stereo lithography (SLA) prototype models to Acme Casting Enterprises for a range of iron and aluminum cast tooling and components for automotive, heavy duty, and other manufacturing customers.  The SLA models have been produced to develop casting patterns for engine mount  brackets, levers, housings, gear manufacturing tooling,  exhaust manifolds and a range of metal parts.

In turn, Acme Casting Enterprises partners with Auburn Engineering to provide iron casting production services to Auburn Engineering customers.

Notes Reid Scott, President Auburn Engineering, “We’re especially proud of this milestone, as both of our organizations collaborate to deliver value to our customers. It’s a true team approach that we look forward to continuing.”

Adds Jon Dooge, President, Acme Enterprises, Inc., “Auburn Engineering has been especially responsive with quick turnaround on quotations; delivery of the SLA master models; and any specification changes needed to cast patterns for foundry processing. Together we meet the needs of our customers in terms of delivery and quality. It’s a collaborative and fruitful relationship.”

Auburn Engineering Adds Linear Vibration Welding Capabilities PDF Print E-mail

Rochester Hills, Mich. June 29, 2007– Auburn Engineering, Inc., leading provider of rapid prototyping and production services, has recently added linear vibration welding capabilities to their prototype development services.  Linear vibration welding is a frictional application between two or more plastic parts that is capable of creating strong, air-tight welds in thermoplastic parts.

By offering customers the ability to produce vibration welding, Auburn Engineering closes the gap between manufacturing of plastics and assembly. Auburn is capable of using its existing CNC tooling resources to build custom vibration fixtures in-house. 
The in-house capability to create parts and vibration welding without third party outsourcing yields faster lead times, reduced fixture costs, and provides a competitive edge in vibration welding trials.

Auburn’s linear vibration welder has the ability to fill most any need with a 15 HP digital vibrator, for precise control of amplitude, from 0.040" to 0.070" in increments of 0.001". This drive supports an 80 lb. top tool weight capacity and a part size of 48" X 20".

Explains Bill Carver, engineer at Auburn Engineering, “Vibration welding is a process that is offered by few companies, and usually has a lead time of 3-4 weeks after first shots off the injection molds.   Bringing these capabilities in-house allows us to create the vibration welding fixtures in tandem with our injection molds, yielding welded parts in as soon as one week after first shots.  We can offer our customers the ability to incorporate this process for a complete prototype or production development solution at a fraction of the cost of our competitors.”
