In our 3D print design optimisation<a href=\"https:\/\/am-hub.dk\/am-sustain\/\">programme<\/a> DfAM, the company looked at optimising one of the tools used in the moulding process. The goal was to achieve a printed solution that could provide flexibility\u2014and it succeeded. During the programme, BEWI optimised the tool design and thereby primarily reduced the weight by 74% compared to traditional tooling, while also improving time-to-market by, among other things, cutting lead time by 25%.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; position_vertical=&#8221;middle&#8221; align_horizontal=&#8221;align_right&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;204648&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;96444&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;125832&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; content_parallax=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;184735&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1771939257362{padding-bottom: 50px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; radius=&#8221;std&#8221; shadow=&#8221;std&#8221; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;451755&#8243; back_color_type=&#8221;uncode-solid&#8221; back_color_solid=&#8221;#0903d4&#8243; el_class=&#8221;list-column&#8221;][vc_column_text text_color=&#8221;color-xsdn&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;479990&#8243; el_class=&#8221;list-with-check&#8221; text_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: white !important;\">Results of the programme with Dansk AM Hub<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Enormous design freedom and flexibility<\/li>\n<li>25% shorter lead time<\/li>\n<li>53% price reduction compared to traditional tooling<\/li>\n<li>74% weight reduction compared to traditional tooling<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; position_vertical=&#8221;middle&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;609024&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;265014&#8243;]\u201cIt provides enormous flexibility and represents a potential where, by optimising the tool, we can offer more complex and better solutions in terms of both quality and cost, and thereby address the challenges that our machine settings cannot help us with.
