TriTech Titanium Parts —
Dependable delivery and domestic sourcing for production efficiency
TriTech Titanium Parts focuses on improving the performance and reliability of customer components through its unique array of titanium part manufacturing technologies.
Unique Three-Technology Set Matches Optimal Manufacturing Process to Each Custom Part
Different production technologies deliver different results. One size does not fit all. TriTech Titanium has assembled a one-stop production resource offering industries – from automotive and industrial to aerospace and medical and more – the best manufacturing options for their product parts and components.
TriTech Titanium is the only U.S. company to offer three production technology options under one roof to deliver net shape titanium precision parts for small batch to high volume.
3D Binder Jet Printing
TriTech is the first with a production scale printer for printed titanium parts. 3D binder jet printing, or additive manufacturing, is the fastest method of printing a part, enabling rapid prototyping, testing and production. TriTech can produce very complex geometries with this method.
Very few companies offer titanium MIM parts. TriTech has developed its unique MIM technology through years of dedicated process research and improvements. Our titanium MIM facility is oriented toward small parts ranging from .5 grams up to 200 grams.
TriTech's investment casting process, also known as lost wax investment casting, produces high quality net shape titanium parts. Lost wax investment casting involves injecting a wax into a die that is the shape of your part. The wax pattern is then used for casting the titanium metal. Investment casting is highly effective for commercial and industrial applications.
At TriTech, all net shape titanium parts are made in Detroit, using a highly reliable, fully domestic supply chain. We source quality materials throughout the U.S. and Canada, which means that our manufacturing processes (and your order) are not subject to supply chain uncertainty.
A benefit of our domestic supply chain is that TriTech can go from design concept to rapid prototyping to production quickly to meet customers’ tight time frames or first-to-market launches.
At TriTech, we work closely with our customers and are highly responsive to their needs. We like to get involved in the design phase, so we can help tailor design specifications for part performance and manufacturability.
For example, if a customer requests a highly complex part that may result in a high scrap rate of 15 to 20%, we work with them to customize the design to meet their performance requirements, with a 5% scrap rate target.
Identifying performance improvements during product development, designing for manufacturability, managing the supply chain, and post-delivery follow-up characterize the close service relationship with customers. We’re on call 24/7 for our customers. Always.
TriTech Titanium Parts Achieves AS9100 & ISO 9001 Certification
TriTech Titanium Parts has successfully achieved AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015 certification, further reinforcing its dedication to the highest quality standards in manufacturing precision titanium components.
A: For complex parts, TriTech uses detailed computer-modeled flow analysis to make sure the material injects correctly to fill the die cavity with no porosity or variation in density throughout the part. This ensures uniformity of the injected titanium alloy.
A: Titanium parts manufacturers, like TriTech, want to be involved early on in the design process. According to Bob Swenson, president of TriTech Titanium Parts, L.L.C., “Customers come to us with a rough solid model or even just an idea. This is the stage where we collaborate with them to optimize the design for manufacturability, giving customers all the part that they want without any efficiency loss due to non-critical features that can unnecessarily drive-up cost.”
A: This will depend on what titanium parts manufacturer you decide to partner with. According to Bob Swenson, CEO of TriTech Titanium Parts, L.L.C., “Our processes and process technologies were developed and grown internally to build on our teams’ knowledge of, and experience with, investment casting, metal injection molding, and 3D printing.”
A: There are too many variables to consider for a customer to make this decision on their own. Experts at TriTech guide customers to the right production process. The easiest way will be to look for a titanium parts manufacturer that offers a number of processes. One that only offers investment casting will always think that investment casting is the best option. But, a titanium parts manufacturer like TriTech that offers investment casting, 3D printing and metal injection molding will have multiple manufacturing processes and can match the best production method to the part.
A: Look for a manufacturer that in interested in collaborating with customers to assist in the important “Design for Manufacture” discipline of optimizing part design pre-production. This will improve the economics and quality capabilities of part production. In cases where the part design is already locked-in, make sure that the manufacturer is committed to a high level of customer service and to fulfilling production schedules on time.
A: To ensure manufactured parts will meet the tight specifications for parts, customers need to ask about the manufacturing technology and quality programs that are used in the facility. For example, TriTech Titanium Parts implemented an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system that helps identify potential manufacturing bottlenecks in advance and helps reduce lead times. The ERP system also displays control charts and gives visibility to key process parameters that can be shared with customers.
