One Part, End to End

From CAD model to installed component

Design & DFM

Part and tool design validated in CAD before steel is cut.

Molded speaker housing with speaker installed

Molded & Assembled

Molded, then built into a finished acoustic assembly in-house.

In the Vehicle

Fitted and trimmed into the finished vehicle interior.

Tooling

Domestic & international tooling capabilities.

We design, source and manage tool builds across domestic and international shops, balancing quality, lead time and cost, then bring the steel in-house to sample, tune and validate before production.

Part Analysis & Simulation Services

De-risk the part before the tool is cut

We run mold-flow simulation up front, predicting fill, dimensions and warpage, so problems are solved in software, not in hardened steel.

Filling Analysis

Fill-time and flow simulation confirms gate strategy and balanced fill across all cavities.

Dimensional Diagnostic

Predicted shrink and sink mapped feature-by-feature against print tolerances.

Warpage Prediction

Deflection modeled in every direction so windage can be dialed into the steel.

Material Selection

Filling Analysis

Gate Location Optimization

Dimensional Diagnostic / Sink Estimate

Warpage Analysis / Windage Development

Cooling Analysis

Frequently Asked Questions

Design, tooling and simulation, answered

Can Venture Plastics help design or redesign our part?

Yes. Our engineering staff assists with part design, design for manufacturability and part consolidation to reduce cost, working from your concept, your model or an existing part.

Do you run mold flow simulation before cutting steel?

Yes. Mold-flow and part simulation covering fill, warpage, dimensional and cooling analysis is run before tooling is built, so problems are found on screen rather than on the press.

Where are your tools built?

Venture manages tool production from qualified sources around the world for high quality at low cost, then qualifies and maintains the tool at the plant that will run it.

Can we get prototypes before committing to production tooling?

Yes. Additive manufacturing covers early prototypes, and prototype tools can be built to verify a design and run product life cycle testing before production tools are cut.

How is a new program managed from award to production?

Full APQP project management runs the program from concept to production, which keeps your internal resources free while Venture handles timing, tooling, validation and launch.

Bring us your toughest part. We'll help design it for manufacturability.
