Magor Capabilities
WITH OVER 40 YEARS EXPERIENCE, A PARTNERSHIP WITH MAGOR IS THE GENESIS OF YOUR MOLDING REFINEMENT
ENGINEER
At Magor, when we engineer a mold for your product, it all starts at the request for quotation managed by one of our Project Engineers, who along with the Magor Engineering group, will develop and present the solutions best suited for your product. There are 3 important potential pieces of the mold design which can be explored as follows:
Product Design: This is the main aspect driving the mold design and process and at what level it will perform. Magor has the experience from designing and building hundreds of molds to know whether to push the process or understand the summit of capability has been reached.
Part Cost Analysis: Many times, this part of the process is overlooked as the focus will be up-front capital costs in place of the more important piece part cost. Medical product lifecycles are traditionally longer, so molds can be depreciated over 5 to 8 years, which means the mold depreciation portion of the piece part costs accounts for maybe 5%. This means that the balance, or 95% of the piece part cost is made up of other elements such as scrap and rejects, longer cycle times, low cavity utilization, unscheduled down time and re-setup, mold maintenance and repair, and surge capacity. At Magor we focus on producing the most efficient and capable mold.
Mold and Hot Runner Design: At Magor, there is extensive data collection and many other factors taken into consideration before the designing of the mold. We do this for a reason—so when we do design your mold, we know we're applying the right technology for the right reason, no more and no less than what is truly required for the ultimate design for manufacturing. We are very thorough in our engineering and perform 2 to 3 design reviews during this process online and, at the minimum, our final design review is face to face.
