TPI Arcade Sales Manager Erik Depczynski said the relationship between his company and Hologic dates back to the late 1990s when the foundry served as a supplier through a third party, usually a machine shop-that changed when they hired Casting Development Associates with Charlie Simmons, who cultivated a more active book of business with Hologic. Less cost, less material to procure, and nothing to weld. When AFS Corporate Member TPI Arcade (Arcade, New York) converted a 14-piece welded frame for a medical system to a single, all-encompassing aluminum casting, the customer, Hologic, got more than they’d hoped for––and, at the same time, much less. Over 70 years ago, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe popularized that phrase in the context of modern architecture, but it’s an equally relevant truth today when you contrast a complex weldment or fabricated part to a streamlined casting.
