The supplier needed to find a way to boost productivity and product quality, without increasing capital expenses – all while dealing with an extremely price-sensitive market. The additive concentrate not only reduced cycle times as expected, it allowed the supplier to achieve better flow and mold filling. That reduced the overall cost of each part by 5 percent, giving the supplier a net savings of more than $65,000.
