Optimization of a bi-injection mold for automotive

Significant reduction in cost and complexity by rethinking the mold design.

The project challenge

This project is an example of bi-injection mold optimization applied to the automotive sector.

The initial approach considered the manufacture of a four-cavity mold, two for ABS and two for TPE, which implied a large mold and high technical complexity.

From the point of view of injection mold engineering, this approach meant a significant increase in the manufacturing cost of the mold, longer injection cycle times, and a direct impact on the final cost of the part.

Our engineering approach

During the analysis phase, it was detected that a small adjustment in the design of the part allowed a complete rethinking of the mold architecture, reducing its size and complexity without affecting the final functionality.
