Less scrap, lower costs, faster production:
• Des-MOLD will shorten time-to-market for new and highly competitive products. This benefit is a direct result from the reduction of tuning time described above. In today’s fierce competition being first on the market is a significant advantage.
• Also, Des-MOLD allow flexible production and higher production capacity. Intelligent molds enable easy production change and even production factory change
Des-MOLD system will allow converters to produce plastic parts close to customers’ sites, without suffering from any productivity loss. The expected result of the project is to decrease new production setting from an average of 20 parts down to 10 parts. This means a 50% reduction in initial scrap.
The use of Des-MOLD will significantly reduce scraps with a rejection ratio cut by a factor 2. In average, plastic injection molding generates 5% scrap. 60% of it generated after mold set up during production
• Environmental impact: improvement sustainability of production processes and tools since Des-MOLD will reduce the need for mock-up tools, and scrap pieces will be decreased thanks to the optimal designs and sensorization at the design level.
