Engineering / Design Consulting
We are a one-stop shop. This will save your company money.
We Save You Money. If involved from the beginning, we will save you money by designing a part that can actually be manufactured without costly downtime due to unforeseen design / engineering problems and save you money throughout the life of that part.
We Add Value. We have the in-house expertise to take your original ideas and engineer them into the best parts possible in terms of strength, moldability & aesthetics. Your part and tooling will give you years of trouble-free, cost-effective use.
We know how to look for areas that won't hold a tolerance or areas that are not moldable. If you need high tolerance, we know ways to assure that the shrinkage of the plastic material will not warp the part.
A common mistake is to design a part that cannot be molded. People that don't know plastics or the manufacturing of plastic parts might not know how to avoid this problem. We do.
Our engineers know what to ask to zero in on what is important on that part, what has to be there, what doesn't, and we will design it so that it can actually be built and perform in production environments.
These decisions need to be made at the part design phase to insure good moldability of the part and to insure that parts are manufactured in such a way that you are not paying more than you need to for what you are trying to achieve.
Tool Design
Tool design involves figuring out the best tooling approach to build the mold for a part. Tech-Way Industry works directly with tool shops so you don't have to. Our expert oversight and management of the process assures that the most cost-effective tool is built that will hold up for years and remain trouble free for years.
We Add Value. Our expertise can recommend a certain steel for the mold so that it will not wear. Our knowledge of plastics is valuable - some plastics are abrasive, some have a high degree of out-gassing wear. We know how to compensate in building the tool to minimize the effects of these and other problems associated with plastics parts.
Tool and Die Building
We have the tool and die building capability and expertise in-house. But when we don't have the capacity for your job, due to scheduling, or your job requires a specialized expertise, we have other resources available at our fingertips.
Located near Dayton, Ohio, we are in one of the major tool and die hubs with all the services you would need in close proximity to our manufacturing plant: plating, coating, raw material suppliers, component suppliers, and special processes.
We know all these people and work with them on a daily basis on first name basis. We will get your job done quickly and by the best method available.
Advanced Quality Planning
At Tech-Way Industries, quality begins at the initial concept of the project. All processes are engineered and developed with a multi-disciplinary approach to assure that our products are made to your specifications. Our design engineering team provides creative solutions to each unique requirement of a project while ensuring a cost-effective, efficient process of design.
CAD / CAM
Through the innovative use of today’s technology and the latest in computer aided Design & Manufacturing equipment, we have the ability to interface with your math data so the transition of your ideas into the final product is easily performed.
We accept a variety of CAD / CAM file formats. To follow is a list of formats in the preferred order:
| Solid Model Data & Surfaced Wireframes |
2-D Data |
|---|---|
| Solid translated to STEP203 / STEP214 file (.STP) | Data translated to IGES file (.IGS) |
| Unigraphics Solid file (.PRT) | AutoCad file (.DWG or .DXF) |
| Parametric Solid file (.XMT) | |
| SolidWorks |
