High Volume Bioabsorbable Micro Component Production:

How to Ramp Up Production While Decreasing Piece Part Price

Summary:

When OEMs prepare to increase production volume of a micromolded component, many focus on multi-cavitation tooling as a strategy to reduce piece part price. While increasing cavitation may be a cost-effective approach for higher volumes of simple thermoplastic parts, it is typically not the best approach for micromolded parts, especially those that are bioabsorbable, or made from other high dollar value materials.
