Design for
Manufacturability
Our engineers and project teams are highly skilled at providing Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) support. We will recommend design enhancements, component consolidation and other considerations to reduce costs, optimize part performance and manufacturability allowing you to move expeditiously from design through qualification, validation/PPAP and into production.

Mold Simulation
Velosity is well versed in the use of Moldflow and similar molding simulation software. Predicting flow patterns and identifying potential mold filling concerns, such as sink or areas of high stress, early in the design phase will save time and costs later in the project.

Process
Development
Our process development team excels in the implementation of Scientific Injection Molding Principles. Process development starts with effective DFM, leading to superior tooling design, which sets the stage for robust process development and high quality products.

Tooling Design & Manufacture
Whether you want to fully participate in the mold design process or just receive parts, Velosity welcomes you as an integral part of the team. Our tooling support team outshines the competition in the areas of new tool development. Velosity is also able to integrate and refine tooling that is transferred from other molders.
Types of Tooling:
The type of tooling best used for your application is a function of a number of inputs. Part volumes, part complexity, part design confidence, material selection and product lifecycle must all be considered when selecting the type of mold to design and build.
• Lower volumes – consider master unit die (MUD)
• Similar part designs and materials – family tools may be a consideration
• Similar part designs and different materials – could warrant an interchangeable mold inserts
• High volume projects – multi-cavity and possibly a hot runner system
• High-cost raw materials – creative tool design solutions to reduce waste
Whatever your requirements we will help you select the best tooling options for your application.

Accelerated
Engineering Solutions
In order to support our customers dealing with engineering constraints, we have expanded our engineering services above and beyond providing our normal design for manufacturability (DFM) support.
Our accelerated engineering solutions include:
• Design for Manufacturability (DFM) support – Available on thermoplastic and silicone injection molded products and simple to moderately complex assemblies.
• Database Modification – Improve time to market by releasing tooling and products faster by utilizing Velosity’s database modification services.
• Material Selection – Take advantage of our experience with thermoplastic, elastomeric and silicone materials to recommend resin options for your application.
