AUTOMOTIVE

Economical high volume production, flawless quality, hard-to-mold polymers and tight deadlines are the challenges in the automotive industry as it looks to create lighter weight parts to improve fuel economy while supporting Just-in-Time (JIT) delivery requirements. Common applications include automotive exterior, automotive interior, under hood components and automotive lenses (lighting).

Requirements

  • Tight gate access
  • Multi-material molding
  • Fast delivery/service
  • Minimal downtime
  • Repeatable production
  • Sustainability (PCR)
  • Medium to large part production
  • Part weight range from 500g to 5,000g+ (typical)
  • Repeatability
  • Class “A” surface finishes
  • High clarity (automotive lighting)
  • Ability to process challenging resins
