Traditionally, marine propeller design has been an art built on human expertise and trial-and-error. It required countless hours of manual calculations, limited data inputs, and slow design iterations.
Mencast has changed this — but we changed it because we understand it deeply.
We have developed a proprietary Unified Formula, drawing from 43 years of real-world experience, combined with the latest technologies in AI, optimization algorithms, parametric modeling, and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD).
Our Unified Formula enables us to model the entire propulsion ecosystem — integrating hull characteristics, vessel speed, draft, engine output, gearbox ratios, and operational profiles. This allows us to automate the design process, expand the design space, and rapidly generate high-performance propeller solutions customized for each vessel.
What This Means for Shipowners & Builders:
- Faster, more accurate design cycles
- Customized propellers optimized for your specific vessel
- Higher thrust and better fuel economy
- Reduced vibration and noise
- Lower emissions and improved sustainability
Mencast propellers are not just metal products. They are the result of decades of know-how combined with the power of digital innovation.
