MARKETS
AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY
In its complexity, the automotive industry is probably the market with the widest range of applications. Visible parts for the interior, easy parts for powertrain, optical precision parts for the exterior, big parts like bumpers or cockpits, and much more all rely on specialized Automotive Plastic Components Molding solutions. Depending on the function of the parts, differentiated production approaches are required to meet the wide range of requirements, both on the product side and in upstream and downstream processing. Each product group in Automotive Plastic Components Molding faces its own unique challenges regarding material homogeneity, surface quality, and precision.
Added to this is the diversity of applications enabled through combinations of materials and processes such as multi-component production, foaming, LSR, IML, IMD, and more all of which are central to advanced Automotive Plastic Components Molding. In view of this diversity of parts and production, T1-suppliers and their networks are under increasing pressure to deliver high-performing Automotive Plastic Components Molding. The quality requirements are enormous, product life cycles are becoming shorter and shorter, and the price pressure continues to increase making cutting-edge Automotive Plastic Components Molding a key differentiator in today’s market.
CHALLENGES
THE CHANGING AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY
New requirements in terms of environmental protection will further fuel the cost spiral. And the deadline pressure for the processor will increase as the cost pressure is passed on to production and logistics. Moreover, futurologists see the automotive industry facing far-reaching changes. Alternative drives and autonomous driving will shape future visions of automotive culture.
What is needed is maximum flexibility on the machine side, coupled with productivity, top quality, and new concepts for extremely economical and ecologically advantageous solutions—areas where Precision Injection Molding and High-Speed Injection Molding excel. The tougher the competition, the more flexible the production portfolio in plastics processing should be, and Precision Injection Molding, together with High-Speed Injection Molding, enables manufacturers to meet even the most stringent automotive standards.
“Technology to the point” is extremely important in the automotive industry, and Precision Injection Molding offers the perfect balance between efficiency, accuracy, and adaptability. Probably more important than in any other industry, Precision Injection Molding is a vital ingredient in staying ahead in the rapidly evolving automotive market.
