Functionality LossAn Injection Molding Design also would have functionality tradeoffs to get around molding constraints
Blades were too thin for material to be able to flow. Molding would requires much thicker structure, interfering with flow
Side walls would require draft, increasing assembly size, or decreasing flow volume

Conformal Cooling
What is Conformal Cooling?
➢ It is the optimization of cooling or heating channels that follow the shape of the molded part surface for productivity and quality improvements
➢ It is a way of reaching area in a mold that have hot or cold spots to help control the part temp. during molding.
How does Conformal Cooling help make a mold more Lean?
➢ Reducing Scrap
➢ Reducing Cycle Time
➢ Increased Capacity
How are Conformal Cooling inserts built?
➢ Simulation
➢ Design and Optimization
➢ Laser Sintering (A.K.A. Additive Manufacturing)

SOLVING FOR CAPACITY & EFFICIENCY
A high-value, highly optimized part, was creating supply chain issues
Three per build
Using design collaboration to help alleviate supply chain issues
As originally designedPrinting these three-at-a-time created supplier capacity issues at production volumes
The large number of additional builds also meant there weren’t enough other production parts to fill the unused space, drastically increasing cost per part
A Redesigned version, split into two separate parts, enabled assurance of supply and cost targets, without sacrificing functionality
