Auto Mould’s Delivery Time Shortening

As the automotive industry develops faster, reducing the delivery time of auto moulds has become key to improving the industry’s core competitiveness. As essential equipment for body manufacturing, the delivery speed of auto moulds directly affects the R&D and mass production progress of whole vehicles. After long-term practice, SINOMOULD Auto Mould has summed up a practical and effective plan to shorten the cycle.

Technological support is the core. Use 3D/CAE mold flow analysis technology to optimize design in advance, reduce rework through modular modeling, and combine high-speed milling with 3D printed conformal water channel technology. This can increase processing efficiency by more than 40% and cut cooling time by 30%. Use a digital management system to monitor progress in real time and arrange production smartly, raising machine utilization from 65% to 85%.

Coordinated management is fundamental to efficiency. Promote cooperation between upstream and downstream, take part in customers’ product design early to reduce later mold changes; set up a shared inventory of standard parts and improve material selection and procurement processes. Use lean production to eliminate hidden costs, achieve zero-defect delivery of mold pre-verification, greatly reduce debugging time, and effectively shorten the cycle.
