Case Study of 3D Printer Utilization (6): Example of Cost Reduction in Mass Production
Proposal for problem-solving with the introduction of 3D printers! Introducing examples of cost reduction in mass production.
Our company has introduced 3D printers and primarily offers products related to extrusion molding from design to mass production. We received a request for airtight pieces for building components. Due to the small lot size, it was difficult to amortize the investment in molds, so we proposed a method of creating a simple mold using polylactic acid, filling it with room-temperature curing silicone rubber, and allowing it to cure. 【Case Study】 ■ Material: Silicone rubber ■ Initial investment amount (press mold cost): ¥150,000 ■ Product cost: ¥1,000 (lot of 5 pieces) ↓ 《Created a mold using a 3D printer and molded room-temperature curing silicone》 ↓ ↓ ■ Material: Mold: Polylactic acid, Product: Silicone rubber ■ Prototyping cost: Mold: ¥15,000, Product: ¥1,000 (lot of 5 pieces) *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
