FPD Makes it Easy
From helping you determine the best way to produce your titanium components to ensuring our work together benefits your profit, our people, and our planet, FPD works with you every step of the way.
You Have Choices
When purchasing titanium components, the finished part can made from a titanium forging or a titanium block. FPD can help you make that decision with a detailed cost/benefit analysis. We’ll take into consideration volume of parts, part geometry, manufacturability of the part, and a few other factors.
FPD presents sustainable solutions:
Titanium Block
Raw Material Option Input Stock Weight: 40 PoundsMaterial Loss: 97.5%

Benefits:
- Reduces input stock by 60%
- Reduces machining cycle time by at least 50%
Titanium Part with Finished Part Geometry
FPD can produce this aerospace part from a titanium block or a titanium forging.Titanium Hog-Out Vs. Titanium Forging
When purchasing a finished titanium component the input stock influences the process and price. FPD supports our clients to optimize input stock by recommending a “hog out” or “forging.”
