Fiat Chrysler came to Bel Air with a de-powdering problem which was a bottleneck in the production of several different engine components. The production of mold parts were consuming too much hand labor along with being inconsistent. Bel Air developed a process, designed and build a custom machine to facilitate constant, automated powder removal.
