Program Transfer
Moving your manufacturing program to a new supplier is a significant business decision. Velosity offers a comprehensive approach to evaluating and implementing program transfers for markets ranging from medical devices to aerospace and defense to industrial. With our experienced engineers and technical experts, we will review the current tool function and condition, perform any necessary repairs and corrections to prepare the mold for sampling and requalification. We’ll inform you throughout the transfer process on the status of repairs, product sampling, inspections, and manufacturing logistics.

Design Assistance
& Review
Design review is a critical step in any transfer of mold and related activities. The handling of the manufacturing program transfer process can greatly impact the success of the product and its manufacturability. The transfer of product and process knowledge between the development team and the manufacturing team must be seamless to achieve a high-quality, successful product launch. Velosity can either assist you with the transfer of equipment we build for you or serve as your manufacturing partner.

Process
Engineering
The process engineering team at Velosity supports program transfer initiatives to conduct the necessary implementation support steps. This department collaborates with all areas of the company, including operations, manufacturing, and quality, to ensure the tool has been thoroughly tested & validated, and is ready to be transferred to the customer.

Tooling Design
There are many considerations of a successful product transfer as part of the overall tooling design:
-How many cycles will the mold require?
-What are the mold design acceptance criteria?
-What’s the required level of assistance in defining the mold specifications?
-What tooling support is available at the destination?
Velosity will address all of your tooling design questions during this process.

Trials & Validation
Velosity provides a comprehensive solution for the validation process, and we work closely with our customers to meet the requirements of their project. Our collective approach enables our customers to conduct their validation process at our facility, if that supports the overall project objectives. Our customers have direct access to engineering and design process support for components and tooling updates during the DFM (Design for Manufacturing) process.

Transfer & Support
Transferring production may involve building new molds or tools, or relocating existing ones. Either way, Velosity is prepared. 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 whether it’s possible to transfer your tools as-is or if rebuilding them may be a better solution.
