“Ten years from now, we are going to be in very great
shape,” said Savard. “We will have all that experience but still a young workforce. For us, it’s important to keep that spirit of always having someone behind you who could take the keys.”
The Longest Jump
In 2005 and 2006, Saguenay Foundry’s shareholders saw that they were losing a lot of jobs for one to two-part orders because the traditional pattern was so expensive. “Everybody was going to fabrication,” Savard said. “We
are a job shop, and we are pretty efficient at those onesie/ twosie jobs, so we tried to figure out different ways to [reduce the pattern cost].” Te team explored CNC machines to cut the patterns, but at the time, a typical pattern would take two weeks. It was too slow and would result in significant wear and tear on the machine. What Saguenay Foundry wanted was a robot that could machine a 3-D shape into a sand mold. By 2009, robotic technology had sped up considerably, and Saguenay Foundry was able to develop a software program that taught the robot how to machine in a 3-D
