The closed impeller is a vital component in marine propulsion systems, but its complex geometry and need for corrosion resistance posed significant manufacturing hurdles. Traditional methods required lengthy lead times—up to a year—while obsolescence issues compounded delays. STE needed a solution that could meet these challenges efficiently while delivering superior performance.
Through its partnership with Nikon SLM Solutions, STE leveraged the SLM®500 and innovative materials like Aheadd® CP1 to achieve transformative results.
