Faster cycles, better parts, less waste. In high-volume molding, conformal cooling is a quiet but powerful advantage.
When you're producing hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of plastic parts in a single run, every second matters. Even small improvements in the process can make a big difference in efficiency, quality, and cost.
One of the most effective improvements is reducing cooling time, and that’s where conformal cooling comes in.
Conformal cooling isn't new, but it continues to reshape how we approach high-volume plastic injection molding. Thanks to advancements in 3D printing and mold design, its benefits are more accessible than ever.
Traditional molds use straight-line cooling channels. These work, but they often leave hot spots and create uneven cooling. That leads to longer cycle times, more warping, and inconsistent quality. Conformal cooling solves this by placing channels closer to the mold surface and shaping them to follow the contours of the part.
The result is faster and more even heat transfer. Parts cool more quickly and more consistently. This reduces cycle times, lowers the risk of defects, and improves dimensional stability. It also cuts energy usage, which is an added win for sustainability goals.
At ADIS Tachov s.r.o., we rely on conformal cooling in the production of automotive components where precision and repeatability are non-negotiable. It helps us deliver on our promise of high-quality parts, produced on time, every time.
