Plastic Design and Production

Our cutting-edge design expertise allows us to understand the mechanisms of specific plastic materials and how they perform. Once we clearly understand your product needs, we put our talents to work by first determining the most efficient plastic for use with your particular application, and then beginning the design process (either with or without your  custom-made drawings) to meet your specifications, ultimately delivering an unsurpassed product.

Rite Tech Industries has implemented some of the leading CAD/CAM/CAE systems to ensure optimal control, assessment and machining of product design throughout the entire process of mold development.

CAE:
MOLDFLOW software is used simulate and analyze injection flow, enabling molding manufacturing problems to be predicted and solved in the initial phase of product development.

CAD:
AUTOCAD, CAXA, Pro/Engineering and SolidWorks software enables 2D and 3D product designs, as well as mold designs.

CAD 3D
Our company uses 3D software to design products and separate mold structure, establish and transfer relevant accessory, form the total picture, and separate the accessory according to the conditions of machining.

CAM:
Cimatron software provides efficient 3-axis milling and distinct automation levels; maximizing productivity and minimizing human error.

We can receive the following drawing files: IGES, STEP, CATIA
Outline of Design and Manufacturing Procedure

1. Requirements - Press size, runners, gate position etc.

2. Confirmation - The initial mould drawing is emailed to the customer in the first 7 days. A meeting is held to discuss general construction. The final GA is sent to the customer within 7 days for final approval.
   The mold designs are produced using the appropriate software, and Rite Tech Industries’ engineers review the designs before our customer sees them and makes any necessary modifications.  This normally takes approximately one week.

3. The program manager reviews the designs with the customer. Notes are made, and if necessary, the designs are updated and then submitted to the customer for final approval.  Once the 2D design is approved, the lead time begins. 

4. Within 1-2 days, we obtain 3D core and cavity splits, which again we review personally with the customer, and correct as needed. 

5. Steel certification is done      Materials - All steels can be supplied with certificates of chemical composition and hardness

6. Fittings - Thread sizes, water fittings, hydraulics and hot runners could be supplied with the tools according to client’s requirements. Runner systems from Synventive, Moldmaster, Hasco, DME and YUDO (or Customer’s preferred system).

7. Timelines will be supplied every week to show the progress of the mold, and digital photos are also available.

8. Once the mold is complete, it is sample in the offshore facility. Parts will be molded, and approximately 30 sample parts per cavity with an ISIR will be delivered by air to our U.S. facility. 

9. Two days later we receive the first sample parts, and our quality engineers review the parts with the customer; noting any necessary corrections that need to be made. 

10. A maximum of two weeks is required for de-bugging, which includes making necessary corrections and preparing the mold to ship. 

11. Second shots are sent for approval and a first article layout is conducted by the customer. If the parts are approved, the mold ships to the customer, either via sea freight (5 weeks door to door) or air freight (1 week door to door); with the shipping method typically being decided by the lead time requirements. We have established a working relationship with a local freight forwarding company and we work very closely to monitor the shipping of any molds or product. 

The following information is being furnished, to illustrate how Rite Tech Industries, and the Zhejiang Jindian Mold Co.,Ltd, as a Partnership, plan to perform a smooth transition during a new or existing tooling / production/ or transfer program. The partnership will be completed in an organized fashion as follows:

1. The Partnership will evaluate the production data provided by the customer, to produce a cost reduction plan, which will be increased by a predetermined percentage each year. The Partnership will accomplish this by making continuous improvements using Six Sigma and Lean manufacturing techniques.

2. Evaluate press capacity requirements by comparing current production requirements for Customer versus available press capacity of The Partnership. If The Partnership realizes a press capacity issue, The customer will be informed in writing followed with an action plan to accommodate excess capacity requirements.

3. The Partnership will promptly recognize and produce the tooling required to run current suppliers custom tooling configurations. The Partnership will prepare an ISIR for the initial samples produced. The ISIR will be reviewed with the customers quality personnel before production begins, and any required critical dimensional characteristics will be addressed at this time.

4. After a predetermined annual sales volume is achieved, If required; a work cell will be created with molding presses and assembly lines dedicated for customers program only . A full time designated program manager, tool maker, process engineer and a quality engineer will be staffed full time to insure the customer's programs always has the allotted resources needed.  This will allow the Partnership to help with a continuous improvement plan, and to meet delivery, quality, and cost reduction requirements, throughout tooling procurement, sub assembly production, final assembly, and packaging stages of each program.
