In this case, a top tier-1 automotive molder was
routinely running cycle times longer than originally
quoted, as inconsistencies in CFA performance were
creating processing issues and generating more scrap.
This meant the molder was running longer cycle times
to manage shot-to-shot irregularities and control
dimensional stability.
Of greatest impact was a
reduction in cycle time by an impressive 20%, while CFA
use-rate dropped by 80%.

Working with a material supplier that has R&D and technical support globally can help overcome that challenge.
Materials suppliers with a robust global footprint can help ensure materials are also backed by localized technical support to help with molding trials or to work through manufacturing challenges anywhere in the world.
Most material suppliers offer technical support, but when working with your supplier, be sure to get clarity on local technical support availability.
