DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

SERVICE
Rimnetics manufactures polyurethane structural plastic enclosures. The fast pace of today's product introduction cycles requires that suppliers meet shortened lead times for delivering product. Over the years customers such as Beckman Instruments, Molecular Dynamics, LaserScope, and others needed enclosures for their medical and scientific products. Rimnetics knew that sheet metal covers were not appropriate for these high value products. The result was to incorporate in 1985 the first RIM production shop in Mountain View, California. Manufacturing Manager Siegfried Waaga has enthusiastically created a world class RIM shop boasting the latest in high-tech computing, CNC machining centers and the newest RIM mixing machine. Gary knew the future of his molding facility lay in the rapidly advancing software system capable of running the latest generation of CNC machines. His first CAD/CAM system was a 2D wire frame program that was limited to 2D CAM programming only.

The system was used to machine the patterns for pouring composite-hybrid molds. Rimnetics injection molding employs a variety of molding techniques. Rapid Production System (RPS®) tooling saves time and money! Rimnetics specializes in molding high value scientific & medical enclosures. Reaction Injection Molding (RIM) with hybrid-composite tooling may be perfect for your products. Medical and Scientific instrument enclosures are often made of reaction injection molded (RIM) structural polyurethane foam. This offers variable density (.6 to .9) with good thermal insulation properties. Rimnetics also molds with BAYDUR GS - a dense polymer that can replace metal. Encapsulation with RIM plastic offers many new ways to create industrial parts. Need high strength? We can add glass fill (RRIM process), or fiberglass mats (SRIM) to the process. The flexural modulus of elastomeric polymers can be varied to your design needs. Rimnetics knows that it takes craftsmen to transform good ideas into great looking enclosures. Your project will always be handled by people with many years of experience making great parts for demanding clients.

Rimnetics uses SURFCAM, a PC-based computer-aided design and manufacturing software. Waaga designed and implemented a full CAD/CAM and CNC network system throughout Rimnetics' machine shop. He now uses a network of thirteen PCs to run SURFCAM, SolidWorks and other software. CNC machines, including four new Cincinnati Milacron mills, run code directly from the computer network, allowing the shop to run twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. SURFCAM's ability to produce large amounts of error free code permits the shop to run large program files without problems. With SURFCAM's solid model verification software, it is no longer necessary to proof programs at the machine.

The Rimnetics system begins when a potential customer forwards an IGES or any other design file for review. Tooling and finished molded part are quoted and any missing design information noted. Many Rimnetics' customers submit SolidWorks design files that are often helpful in calculating part volume to estimate the amount of material needed to mold the part. The tooling dept. encourages SolidWorks files since they can be saved directly to the SURFCAM file format for manufacturing. Rimnetics' machining centers run on Microsoft Windows NT using the latest graphical interface and are networked for continuous loading. Both rough and finish cut instructions are included in the same program. As file sizes get larger, reliability and speed become increasingly important. It is not uncommon for a total of 200 MB of code to be transferred to complete a tooling order. Reliable, continuous distribution of machine code is key to a twenty-four hour operation.

With all this technology in place, Rimnetics can quickly turn around jobs. On one rush order, a file was received electronically on Thursday and code sent to the shop floor by Friday. Two machining centers completed the machining over the weekend and by the following Wednesday, the molds were completed and the tooling was delivered to the molding shop. Molded first article parts were shipped to the customer by Thursday, just eight days after Rimnetics first received the design file. That is an impressive demonstration of what can be done with today's computer technology. Rimnetics has now achieved high-end tooling at lower costs and can quote substantially shorter lead times.
