W.H.Tildesley
W.H.Tildesley Ltd, established in 1874, is one of the oldest drop forging companies remaining in the United Kingdom.
We provide full engineering support at the product design stage of the forging process.
Our skilled team of engineers and experienced technicians are here to assist you, ensuring that components are fully optimised for the drop forging process.
Reverse Engineering
Reverse engineering will play a vital part in the future of forging production in the UK. Many components require fresh production tooling due to original supplier closure or improvement due to new regulations or failure in application. We have the ability to work with our customers and create new tooling, component drawings and digital 3D models from original physical samples. Freshly created model files can be put through a forging simulation program, fully optimising the forging process before any costly tooling or materials are produced.
Forging Simulation
Forging simulation is a cost effective way to evaluate the overall process before any major cost is incurred. Every component that is produced at W.H.Tildesley is 3D modelled and run through simulation software to develop part geometry and test tooling design. This helps identify forging defects such as cracking or under-fill.
Software Solutions
We are currently using the latest industry standard in CAD and CAM software. This includes 3 seats of CREO and Solidworks. We can work with DXF, DWG and PDF format and 3D model files in STEP or IGS.
