- It is important to consider how long a mold will last. The longevity of a mold can depend on several factors, including:
- the material it is constructed from
- the type of product being molded
- the expected stress being put on a mold.
What material is appropriate depends on numerous factors, and analyzing these factors to determine which type is the best fit depends on things such as how long the mold is expected to be used for and the type of material being processed through it.
- Choose a material that will not only meet molding requirements, but your projects performance criteria as well. Consider what is appropriate in terms of functionality, strength, and cost. When juggling prices, it is important to weigh the correlation between material expenses and product longevity. Look forward, if you want to use product or part long-term, with little to no maintenance, investing in a more expensive material might be beneficial. However, if focused on saving financially throughout the molding/manufacturing process, consider less expensive materials.
- Choose designs that minimize material usage. The smallest reductions in material usage, when multiplied by the total products in a production run, can result in both resource and monetary savings. Strengthening features, such as ribs and gussets. use less material than thick walls. While coring out solid components saves money on material, and prevents imperfections such as warping and sinking, it is important to balance design and cost.
- Minimize secondary processes. Additions to products, such as inserts or painting, are sometimes necessary. However, before altering a product in a way that requires a significant financial investment analyze whether changes in design or materials can accomplish the same goals. Changes in design or materials may also have the added benefit of using less material overall. Creating a feature inside a mold, rather than after a piece has been molded, saves both time and money.
- Choose the right shop to handle a project. Some molders have specific areas of expertise such as micro-molding or specializing in short production runs. Choosing a molder whose expertise are aligned with your project's goals ensures that your getting the most value out of your dollar.
