  1. Ideas to Plastic correctly Product to Market quickly

  2. Overview • Wayt Technologies is a thermoplastic injection molder in Oakland, Ca. providing prototype, pre-production and lower volume components. • 75 ton to 500 ton presses • Up to 80 ounce shot size • Wide variety of materials • Glass filled Nylons • Lens grade Lexan • PBT • PC/ABS • Secondary operations • Paint • Inserts • EMI shielding • Sub-assemblies including machined metal parts

  3. Why Use WAYT? • Our strength is in the management of projects. We strive to gain a clear understanding of the project requirements and to design an effective tooling and molding plan unique to each project. • Cut aluminum tooling is faster and more economical than steel for initial production and prototype parts. • Hand loaded slides mean flexibility for revisions. • Tooling can be designed for future expansion into bridge tooling that is able to make additional parts at competitive costs. • WAYT has the resources to provide unique solutions to thermoplastic needs. • Lost-core • Over molding • creation and molding-in of specialty inserts

  4. Examples of Projects • Here are some examples of different applications that WAYT has helped customers with. • We believe each customer’s project has unique needs. WAYT does not change your project to meet our methods, instead we provide the solutions and resources to meet your challenges. • A hands-on project manager is assigned to your parts. They work with your engineering and support staff to make sure the project meets the schedule and functional requirements.

  5. Lens Grade Lexan Compaq / HP • These parts are used in a low volume unit, 50 units per month. • Material used is lens grade Lexan. • WAYT has one 75 ton machine dedicated to clear Lexan.

  6. Structural Nylons Forklift Manufacturer • Testing plastic parts as replacements where metal have been used in the past. • These parts are used in fatigue and stress-to-failure to prove the application of the material. • Note the machined clearance area. • WAYT provided this as a solution to test a revision without the higher cost of machining the mold.

  7. Structural Nylons Forklift Manufacturer • Production quality parts needed before the production mold was complete. • WAYT shipped parts 2½ weeks after the 3D data base was received. • The total project cost was under $5300.

  8. Consumer Products • The customer required the product for introduction to stores in time for Christmas. WAYT delivered first articles in 4 weeks. • Two significant changes were made in the molds to correct design challenges / issues. • The mold was made so that hot runners and automatic ejection could be added to the mold at a later date; allowing the prototype mold to make up to 7,500 parts.

  9. Military Applications • Handheld unit for military / governmental uses. • The initial order was for a total of 250 units. The unit is being re-designed based on test data from WAYT built units and to take advantage of generational change in the internal electronics. • There are a total of 10 base parts (Top, Bottom, Battery Housings and internal buttons, light pipes, lenses) and another 12 add-ons. • The units are supplied with secondary operations as required; including inserts, paint and EMI shielding. • Note the overmolding with a low durometer material. WAYT has in-house capability to overmold plastic as well as metal parts.

  10. New Market Products Truck Instrumentation Manufacturer • The customer is introducing a new product line to their existing customer base. • There are a total of 5 different tightly fitted parts that make up this unit including plated parts. • The same tools that were made to provide presentation models will be used to make production parts as the market needs grow.
