Flow Science Offers Engineering Services for Casting Firms
Multiple die design ideas for this auto
transmission impeller led to a
design that saved Amcan Castings
significant time and money
Flow Science recently announced the creation of a new
Engineering Services Division and the appointment of Boris Lukezic as Director
of the new division (see Comings & Goings). Initially, the Engineering
Services Division will provide services to clients in the metal casting industry
only, but plans are under consideration for expanding into other industries where
project-oriented work makes consulting a viable option for certain organizations.
Metal casting companies can benefit from the combination of FLOW-3D and
Boris’ extensive
industry experience. Boris used FLOW-3D extensively
while at Amcan Castings (Hamilton, Ontario), where he worked for the last 9½ years,
ending up as Product Engineering Manager responsible for all aspects of Amcan’s
full-service engineering department. An excellent description of one case of
his work with
FLOW-3D at Amcan is given in an article
that appeared in the February 2003 issue of Modern Casting. In that case, and time
and again, Boris and the other engineers at Amcan used FLOW-3D to
solve problems via computer modeling rather than trial and error, thus saving
the company hundreds of thousands of dollars and much time. Now, as the lead
engineer for Flow Science’s new
Engineering Services Division, Boris can do the same for other casting firms.
