15th May 2007 - Teignbridge Reach Propeller Design Milestone
Teignbridge Propellers have reached a milestone in propeller designs by accruing more than 15,000 individual propeller designs.
Each of the 15,000 propeller drawings are kept filed at the
company’s head office in the UK. “Whether for current production or
after-sales, this library of propeller drawings is accessed on a daily
basis to provide technical data for our customers. It is a tremendous
resource, which is highly valued by our boat builder and boat owner
customers".
"Early propeller designs made use of BBC and Acorn computers and
patterns were hand crafted from wood. Today Teignbridge employs the
latest in-house developed design software in conjunction with Delcam
and Rhino 3-D Modelling software for the CNC 5-axis pattern mill. These
facilitate the rapid production of highly accurate patterns made from
wood, plastics & resins, which result in correspondingly highly
accurate & repeatable propellers.
The 15,000 propeller designs reflect the history of Teignbridge
since it’s foundation, with early files being dominated by designs for
Princess, Sunseeker, Fairline & other UK customers. Today
propellers are being designed and supplied to major boat builders
throughout the world, as well as UK boat builders".
