Through collaboration with Ford Motor Company and Michigan Central's innovation ecosystem, production timelines are reduced from months to weeks, significantly accelerating output ahead of summer boating season

Sharrow Engineering announced today it is scaling production of its patented Sharrow™ Propeller through a collaboration with Ford Motor Company's Advanced Industrial Technology & Platforms (ATP) team, using advanced 3D sand-casting techniques thanks to connections made through the Michigan Central innovation ecosystem.

The result is a significant reduction in production timelines, shortening what used to take as much as 130 days with traditional investment casting to approximately two weeks, while maintaining the precision required for Sharrow's designs.
