company news about AI-Powered Mold Design Boosts Efficiency by 300%—Smart Factories Lead the Way

AI Integration: Artificial intelligence is transforming every stage of mobile button mold production, from design to quality control.

Key AI Applications:

• AI-Driven DFM (Design for Manufacturability): Tools like Autodesk Fusion 360’s AI module analyze button 3D models (STEP/IGES files) to flag potential issues (e.g., undercuts, uneven wall thickness) in 1 hour—down from 8 hours of manual review. Heya Precision uses this to reduce design revisions by 70% for touch button molds.
• Digital Twin Simulation: Virtual mold testing (via digital twins) predicts 92% of production defects (e.g., sink marks, flash) before physical mold creation. Tesla’s AI-powered digital twin system, for example, cut button mold 试模 (trial run) costs by 40% for its Cyberphone prototype.
• Machine Vision Inspection: AI-powered cameras (e.g., Cognex In-Sight) inspect button mold cavities in real time, detecting micro-scratches (as small as 0.002mm) with 99.9% accuracy—far faster than manual checks.

Smart Factory Results: Molds made in AI-integrated factories (e.g., Heya’s Dongguan facility) have 34% higher automation rates, 88% equipment utilization (vs. 65% for traditional factories), and 22% lower energy consumption. “We now deliver mobile button molds 10 days faster on average, thanks to AI," says Chris Wang.

Future Forecast: Gartner predicts that 80% of mobile mold manufacturers will adopt AI design tools by 2026, up from 45% in 2024.
