Engineering Support: |
|
| |
|
The SciCast
Engineering department is available to help with your product design
and getting your production running. We will be your partner in
designing the product to ensure that it meets your requirements and
is optimized for manufacturabilty. Early involvement can prevent
many production problems and help reduce tooling and part costs. All
new programs will go through our New
Product Launch Process.
|
|
|
|
| |
|
Our
CAD Department
uses Solid Edge, Pro/Engineer and CADKey¨ (3 seats) with 2D and
solid modeling capability. We can provide prototyping services if
required.
|
| |
|
New Tool Insurance:
We also understand the difficulties of designing a new part - it's
hard to get the product right the first time. We can help. SciCast
will carry out initial design changes to the tool at no charge (up
to 5% of the initial cost). This gives you that additional comfort
zone, when you make a commitment to a new tool.
|
| |
|
Tooling Management: |
|
| |
|
All tooling is made to
strict construction specifications with the best quality materials
by our own tool room or by certified tooling suppliers.
SciCast
provides you with the TLC Program (Tool
Lifetime Care Program).
This is a comprehensive tool inspection and maintenance program
giving you a tool that is guaranteed for life.

There are many
advantages to having us finish your parts for you. We become
accountable for the finished part, relieving you of the worry of
coordinating delivery schedules for your various vendors. If a
problem occurs, we will pick it up immediately and fix it before
large quantities of parts are produced. We are clearly responsible
for any defects, and absorb all scrap at every stage of production.
You get 100% quality. There will also be less inventory in the
supply chain.

New Product Launch Process:
|
|
| |
|
 A process of
thorough planning followed by multistage reviews and approvals
during the manufacture of casting
and trim dies and fixtures. The final output
is a product, which meets with your approval and can be produced
consistently by our production facility. |

New Tool Insurance: |
|
| |
|
Committing to a new
tool can be a big undertaking. Well, just to make things a little
easier, if you find you need any design changes after we first run
the part, we will cover the cost of the tool changes (up to 5% of
the initial cost). It's in our interest to make sure you are getting
exactly what you want, and that we can produce it repeatedly at the
desired quality level. |

TLC (Tool Lifetime Care)
Program: |
|
| |
|
When you launch a program with new tooling at
SciCast
we will guaranty the tool for life. We will carry out all
maintenance and all repairs at no charge (subject to suitable tool
design) to keep the tool in perfect condition.
The "TLC" Program is a comprehensive tool inspection and maintenance
program giving you a "zero cost" guaranty for as long as you run the
tool. We will carry out all maintenance and all repairs at no
charge. We can achieve this as a result of careful design and the
use of our tool care maintenance procedures. At the end of every
production run the tool is carefully inspected and tagged for any
maintenance or repair work. The last pieces produced are also
inspected for signs of problems and stored with the tool for
reference. If repairs or replacement are needed we will do that too.
