Design Is Top Consideration To Reduce Plastics Manufacturing Costs

Plastics manufacturing is a highly competitive, global industry in which businesses are presented with both time and cost challenges. Avoiding delays and reducing risks for costly design changes can mean that your product gets to market faster than your competitors. The sharp line that was once drawn between development and production is now, oftentimes, blurred with manufacturers leaning on industry design experts to become involved in the design for manufacturability process. In fact, manufacturers rank design as the top factor in reducing overall manufacturing costs.

Plastic Residence Time: Calculation and Process

From the specific plastic you are using, your mold, temperature, material density, and the machine itself and its individual parts, there are a number of variables that can make or break the injection molding process. One thing is certain: Processing too long or too short outside of the recommended plastic residence time can cause significant quality issues. Worse yet, not all resulting problems are immediately visible – inconsistency in melt quality, color variation, or weakened parts.

E-mobility Guide

Rosti works with some of the world’s leading producers to face up to the manufacturing challenges in e-mobility. This is a sector with rapid growth – driven by environmental pressures and government legislation – and we are helping to facilitate the leap from prototype manufacturing to mass production.
