More like, what can’t we make? We thought it would be a good idea to look at some of the products that UGS manufactures for our valued customers to give you an idea of what we are capable of doing. We plan to show you over the weeks ahead some of the products and components manufactured as a sampling of our capabilities and who knows, maybe you might see something the perks your interest?

The featured product this week is a wheel polishing tool called the ‘Black Magic® Bullet’. This product attaches to any cordless drill and is used for polishing wheels and rims for your car. It is unique in that it is a tapered design to reach those tight spaces that are found on high polished chrome rims.

What makes this a unique product to manufacture?

The brush head is made from an absorbent foam wrapped in gentle, non-woven microfiber material called Evolon®.

Robotic sewing machines help assemble the head utilizing 2 different stitch patterns (one is called a box stitch and the other is called a lockstitch) for increased strength and durability.

This tool incorporates a high strength plastic flip-down handle for added control and increased safety.

We have also made this product to meet several tough standards involving a Force Test, Compression Test, Torque Test, Aging (heat) Test, Cold/Freezing Test, Impact Test, Tension Test, Tensile Strength Test, Tear Strength Test, Transit Vibration Test, Master Carton Drop Test, and Polishing Head Life Cycle Test.

We also provided the product in a free standing/hanging full clamshell display package complete with product and sample bottle of wheel polish (see photo below).

The product involves several manufacturing processes (cut & sew, machining, plastic injection mold, and of course assembly). This is further proof for you that we can manufacture any project from simple to the most difficult and provide you with the quality and precision that you require. If you have a product or project that you need help manufacturing, contact UGS, you won’t be disappointed.

Have you ever needed to see a physical prototype of your 2D or 3D drawing and need it in a hurry? At UGS, we have the solution. As part of the services that we offer our customers we now have a Dimension SST1200 3D printer that will take your STL format (i.e. Solidworks, IGES or other 3D format) and convert it to an actual physical part using ABS plastic material.

This process in most cases takes less than one day to perform and will give you your part to within thousandths of an inch of your parts size. Highlights include:

· Receiving your 3D prototypes within 2 – 3 days of submitting computer blueprints.

· Saving money and time in product development.

· Test form, fit and function with 3D printed model.

· All working models produced in durable ABS plastic.

· Standard colors available are white, red, blue, green, gray, yellow and red (other PMS colors available upon request).

· Single piece construction up to 56.3 cu. inches.

· 3D prototype parts can be used in sales presentations as visual aids.

· 3D samples are excellent masters for vacuum forming.

We have used this process for many of our customers as added value and service to help our customers sell to their customers! Another reason to consider UGS as your full service overseas manufacturing source. Contact us to discuss complete pricing for your project.
