Intellec Development Group was incorporated as a proprietary company in November 2002. The core focus was on Intellectual Property development, prototyping, design, tooling and plastic injection moulding services to the plastics industry across Australia.
A HistoryTier Toys is a subsidiary of 3d Funtimes Limited, a public unlisted company in Western Australia. 3d Funtimes Limited was incorporated on the 24th of March, 2006 and converted to a public company in November of 2006. This followed six years of research and development. At that time the company had secured full patents for a range of puzzle toys in both Australia and the USA. Of course, we had a comprehensive knowledge of the injection moulding process and a passion for building an Australian company. We also wanted to produce a range of early-childhood puzzle toys that would delight children all over the world and play an important role in developing their motor skills. The company holds global patents for innovative toy products and has in-house design, tooling and manufacturing capabilities to support this. There are several divisions of the Company, each with its operational functions. These include:
The company operates from its factory and office complex at 5 Profit Pass, in Wangara, Western Australia. Further detail of the agreement associated with this acquisition is contained in Section 7 of this document, Material Contracts. This facility has approximately 1,000 square metres of factory space (fitted out for clean-room operations of medical-grade injection-moulding and tooling) as well as 240 square metres of office space which has been fitted out for the CAD design studio, machine programming station and administration offices. The factory includes a CAD/CAM design facility (with solid modelling and 3D designing) as well as a tooling machine shop, a clean-room production environment facility that operates seven Krauss Mafia injection moulding presses (to 220 tonnes), production and assembly area, and over 240 square metres of quality office facilities. The company provides Australian industry with a superior level of quality client services in the fields of product design, rapid prototyping, injection moulded tool design and manufacturing capabilities to provide pre-production tooling to medical grade standards. ↑ TO TOP ↑Product Design The Company offers the ability to produce a workable prototype sample once the client is satisfied that the product design meets their needs. This process is extremely cost effective as there is no need at this point to physically produce injection moulds. The client may use these samples to conduct their own market acceptance research before entering into the manufacturing of injection moulds. The prototype’s physical quality is comparable to that of an injection moulded component and the resemblance is identical. The Company provides Computer Numerical Service (CNC) services for the manufacturing of injection moulds. The generated solid model files developed within the tool design phase are utilized to produce Computer Aided Machining (C.A.M.) files, which are downloaded into Computer Numerical Control (C.N.C.) machining centres. This is the actual cutting and machining of complex tooling cavities. This process is the ultimate procedure for complex shapes to be cut directly into the injection mould cavities. This facility can service the manufacturing of plastic injection moulds, blow-moulds and complex jig and fixture tooling. This is the mainstream demand within the plastics manufacturing industry. The Company’s machinery inventory is a comprehensive selection of machine tools capable of machining to above industry standards. The ability to provide CNC machining is in extremely high demand within the plastics tooling industry. CNC machining is highly regarded as a cost effective process when compared to that of conventional machining methods. The design service package offered to medical and food-grade clients includes:
Production The production room has seven Krauss Mafia injection moulding machines, complete with automatic feeding systems, chillers and conveyors. These machines range from 40 tonne (4) and include an 80 tonne, a 110 tonne and a 200 tonne machine. These have contained clean-room environment casings, to control the atmosphere in which they operate. The moulding machines are complemented by a robotic system for removal of components, as well as high-pressure chiller systems and compressed air systems for high-cycle manufacturing. Each of the moulding machines has automated feeder systems for drying and delivering plastic pellets to the injectors at very high cycle rates. Our core facility will service the manufacturing of plastic injection moulds, blow-moulds and complex jig and fixture tooling. Our machinery inventory is a comprehensive selection of machine tools capable of machining to above industry standards. The ability to provide CNC machining is in extremely high demand within the plastics tooling industry. CNC machining is highly regarded as a cost effective process when compared to that of conventional machining methods. This machine service is a core aspect of the tool room. ↑ TO TOP ↑ Key Personnel The Company has collective skills in CAD/CAM design, solid modelling, toolmaking, injection-moulding and high-cycle production for plastics in a variety of methods. The Company can project-manage your medical or food-grade product from concept, to approvals, to tooling, testing and production. With our high degree of automation on state-of-the-art plant, the costs and quality controls become very attractive. The Tooling and Design division is managed by Roy McHutchison. Roy McHutchison is responsible for the management of the company’s operational business activities. He is a Design Engineer and a qualified toolmaker possessing unique conceptual abilities for successful intellectual property development, prototyping, IP patent protection, development analysis, corporate documentation, manufacturing implementation and analysis. Roy also coordinates production planning and TGA accreditation for production process (if required), as well as the documentation and protection of intellectual property. Roy is proficient in computer-aided design and can generate the manufacturing automation program, activate the operations for tooling and design the assembly techniques needed to mass-produce the end products. Roy has an experienced team of highly skilled personnel, with extensive experience in tooling, plant operation, production process and quality control. Their combined decades of skills and experience has developed know-how that can keep the most sensitive medical production project on-track and on-budget.
