Optimizing Your Injection Molding Process for Cost-Effective Manufacturing Excellence

Optimizing Your Injection Molding Process for Cost-Effective Manufacturing Excellence

In today’s competitive landscape, manufacturers are constantly seeking ways to streamline their processes, reduce costs, and increase output. At SyBridge, we understand these challenges and are dedicated to partnering with you to achieve your manufacturing goals.

Our expertise in design, engineering, and tooling for injection molding goes beyond simply creating high-quality molds. We are your strategic partner, offering expert guidance to optimize your entire process, resulting in measurable improvements to your bottom line.

Optimizing a Pail Mold for Increased Efficiency and Cost Saving

A recent collaboration with a client perfectly exemplifies the value SyBridge brings to the table. We were tasked with re-engineering an existing pail mold. The original design presented several challenges, including:

  • Average cycle times: The initial cycle time was 20 seconds, limiting overall production output.
  • Limited output: The mold could produce 1 million parts per year; however, growing demand required additional output.

SyBridge’s Expertise Delivers Remarkable Results:

Our team of engineers meticulously analyzed the existing mold and identified optimization opportunities. By leveraging our expertise in precision tooling and complex high-cavitation tools, we were able to:

  • Reduce cycle time by 15% (3 seconds):
    This seemingly small improvement translates to significant production volume increase over time.
  • Increase output by over 30%:
    The new design allows for the production of 1,350,000 parts per year, exceeding the client’s initial requirements.
  • Consolidate production:
    The optimized mold’s increased efficiency enabled the client to manufacture at the same rate as four presses while using only three, eliminating the need for additional equipment and tooling costs.
