Technology Transfer 

Developing and transferring technologies from our production floor to yours.

Supporting technologies

• Thermoplastic, elastomeric, and silicone molding processes
• Thin wall molding
• Cosmetic/optical molding
• Over-molding/multi-shot molding
• Over-molded electronics (using thermoplastic, elastomeric and silicone materials)
• Quick-turn prototyping
• Development tooling
• Scalable production tooling
• Scalable assembly operations

High-level outline of the steps involved in a typical technology transfer program

• Preliminary part design review
• DFM review
• Design freeze
• Equipment identification, selection and subsequent delivery to our facility (e.g.; molding machines, auxiliary equipment, automation equipment, EOAT design and fabrication)
• Tool design
• Tool fabrication
• Tooling trials
• Process development – scientific molding, add automation for part removal and subsequent processing activities, etc.
• Process validation, FAI, etc.
• Representatives from your operations visit Teamvantage to observe and train on the processing steps and mold preventative maintenance activities, etc.
• Equipment, tooling, tooling drawings and CAD files, process documentation, etc. 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
