We provide a fully integrated solution, addressing your challenges from end to end – from design all the way through manufacturing.

Early involvement with Velosity is key to your successful product execution and cost-containment efforts.

Our Capabilities

DESIGN SUPPORT & ENGINEERING

Program
Management

At Velosity, we approach each project as a team and become an extension of your team. Collaboration is key to success and our experienced engineering professionals utilize their experience and your product needs to develop solutions to exceed your expectations.

DESIGN SUPPORT & ENGINEERING

Design for
Manufacturability

Our engineers staff and project teams are highly skilled at Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA).  We will recommend important changes and the correct materials to be selected so your part or project will move expeditiously from design through qualification / validation and into production.

DESIGN SUPPORT & ENGINEERING

Moldflow

Velosity is well versed in the advanced usage of Moldflow software and techniques. Predicting flow patterns and identifying potential mold filling concerns early on will save time and revision costs later in a project.

DESIGN SUPPORT & ENGINEERING

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. 

DESIGN SUPPORT & ENGINEERING

Validation

Whether we utilize protocols defined by our customers, protocols developed by Velosity or those developed in concert with our customers, our team can provide complete validation / qualification support. From metrology to component qualification to full IQ (Mold Development), OQ (Process Development) and PQ (Process Verification) validation; Velosity will lead the charge to provide you best-in-class validation / qualification support.

Tooling Design & Fabrication

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. As a result, we have expanded our engineering services above and beyond providing our normal design for manufacturability (DFM) support.

Our expanded services, touted accelerated engineering solutions, include:

• Design for Manufacturability (DFM) support – Implement tolerances stack-up analysis on assemblies to confirm DMF suggestions are appropriate. 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.
