Design and Tooling

Step 1 - Customer Package Expectation Audit

- What is to be packaged?
- What transportation standards are to be met?
- Who is the package targeting?
- Where is the package to ship?
- Package unit price?

Step 2 - Conceptual Design Process

- Interpret customer's expectations and put pen to paper
- Create conceptual drawings
- Detailed 3 D drawings can be created using Solidworks CAD software
- File transfer via IGES, DXF, TIF and DWG format
- Customer can review drawings and note changes on drawing before prototype stage - reduction in lead time.
- Customer can present drawings to end customer

Step 3 - Prototype Tool Stage

- Convert conceptual drawing to "soft" tooling
- Prototype mold created from machined aluminum, cast aluminum, epoxy, REN board
- Limited number of parts can be produced from prototype tool
- Parts can be developed for "form, fit and function"

Step 4 - Production Tool Stage

- Aluminum tooling is created
- Multiple cavities are created
- Precision cutting dies are generated
- Tooling generated to produce high volume, high quality parts
