Technology Transfer
Velosity will build and qualify a complete manufacturing cell, including all tooling and capital equipment, to run in your facility. A high-level outline of the steps involved in a technology transfer program typically includes a preliminary part design review, design for manufacturing (DFM) review, design freeze, equipment identification, selection, and subsequent delivery to our facility. Also included in many tech transfer programs are tooling design, fabrication, and trials, as well as process development and process validation, and FAI.
Representatives from your operations visit Velosity to observe and train on the processing steps and mold preventative maintenance activities to ensure your team understands best practices and maintains quality. Then, equipment, tooling, drawings, and CAD files, including process documentation, are moved (physically and electronically, where applicable). After the transfer, our team remains available as a resource to answer any questions and provide any other necessary support to ensure a 100% successful result.

Process
Engineering
The process engineering team at Velosity is responsible for support technology transfer initiatives to ensure the necessary steps to support implementation are conducted. This department works with all areas of the company including operations, manufacturing and quality to ensure the tool has been tested & validated and is ready to be transferred to the customer.


TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER
Tooling Design
There are many aspects to a successful technology transfer as part of the overall tooling design:
– How many cycles will be needed from the mold?
– What is the mold design acceptance criteria?
– What level of assistance is needed in defining the mold specifications?
– What tooling support is available at the destination?
Velosity will work with you to ensure all of your tooling design questions are addressed during this process.

Trials & Validation
Velosity offers a complete solution for the validation process and we work collaboratively with our customers to meet their specific requirements. Our collective approach allows our customers to carry out their validation process at our facility if that supports the overall project objectives. Our customers have direct access to design and engineering support for components and tooling updates during the DFM (Design for Manufacturing) process.

Training
Teaching customers and competitors how to injection mold has become part of the DNA at Velosity. You may be asking why we would teach someone, let alone a competitor, how to do what we do. While we get compensated for the work we do, we believe that mutual success builds confidence, and with confidence comes partnership, and with partnership comes future opportunity. The real benefit is the strength of the relationship gained through collaboration.
TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER
Transfer & Support
Transferring production may take the form of building new molds or tools or transferring your molds or tools. Velosity is prepared either way. Our in-house tooling team is experienced with mold transfers and partners with you every step of the way. We work with you to determine if your tools can be transferred as-is or if rebuilding the tool may be a better solution.
