TOOL DESIGN & MANUFACTURE

Thermoplastics & Elastomers

Velosity designs and builds tooling to support products utilizing thermoplastic and elastomeric materials. These materials meet the diverse needs of many industries, including medical devices, defense, and aerospace applications. Whether engineering-grade or non-engineering-grade materials are required, Velosity delivers tooling solutions that ensure precision, quality, and performance.

TOOL DESIGN & MANUFACTURE

Silicone

Velosity specializes in designing and manufacturing silicone molds for industries including medical device, industrial, and defense.. Our expertise enables us to help customers create hard-to-build silicone parts while enhancing product design for improved manufacturability.

Velosity has developed and manufactured our own cold deck systems to ensure precision and efficiency in silicone molding. Silicone injection molding offers many advantages, including:

 

  • Reduced cycle times
  • Controlled flash
  • The capability to produce over-mold components
  • Multi-shot silicone components

TOOL DESIGN & MANUFACTURE

Conformal Cooling

Velosity leverages conformal cooling technology to optimize the production of plastic parts with complex geometries, such as those with thin walls or intricate features that are challenging to cool evenly. Our experienced engineers utilize state-of-the-art techniques during the mold-building process to design cooling channels that closely follow the contours of the part surface.

This advanced cooling method promotes faster and more uniform temperature control, efficiently conducting heat away from the plastic part. The result is reduced cycle times, improved part quality, and enhanced production efficiency.

Benefits of conformal cooling include:

  • Reduced cycle times
  • Higher quality parts
  • Less raw material usage

TOOL DESIGN & MANUFACTURE

Multi-Shot

Velosity specializes in designing and manufacturing various types of molds requiring over-molding or multi-shot injection molding processes. It is an efficient and cost-effective method for molding plastic parts with two or more plastic resins or colors in one operation and Velosity has the experience in designing and building high-quality molds for these specific applications.

By involving Velosity early in the Design for Manufacturing (DFM) process, our engineers can help consolidate part numbers, improving efficiency and reducing costs. With extensive experience in designing and building high-quality multi-shot tooling, Velosity is equipped to meet the demands of even the most intricate applications.

TOOL DESIGN & MANUFACTURE

Metal Injection Molding

Metal Injection Molding (MIM) combines the best of plastic injection molding and powdered metallurgy to enable the production of precise, complex parts in large quantities. Velosity is a trusted expert in manufacturing high-precision, tight-tolerance, and complex MIM tooling, producing numerous MIM tools annually for customers in industries such as medical and defense.

Our advanced capabilities include the ability to sample molds in the green state, allowing for early evaluation and optimization before full-scale production. These tools are ultimately shipped to our customers for high-volume manufacturing and post-molding processing. With over 20 years of experience in MIM tool production, Velosity continues to deliver quality and reliability for some of the most demanding applications.
