Interior

Great Automotive Parts, Inside and Out

Automotive interiors are becoming increasingly advanced in both styling and materials. Virtually everything that used to be metal within the vehicle cabin has been replaced with plastics, and the resins and composites used have become more complex. For instance, the instrument panel that used to be steel is now plastic injection-molded in materials with fillers such as Long Glass Fiber for durability and strength.
 
Furthermore, the complex geometries of such parts require more complex hot runner systems that are valve gated, pre-wired, and pre-plumbed, and that have the ability to gate on drastic angles. Door panels and consoles that are molded in a multitude of colors are often comprised of resins that can be difficult to color change.
 
At Synventive, we understand and embrace these challenges by providing systems that help provide optimal glass retention for glass-filled parts or the best possible turnover for a color change application – and everything in between.

Perfect Cosmetic Quality for Exterior Applications

As the leader in large injection-molded automotive parts, Synventive has decades of experience and innovation molding automotive exterior components. 
 
From the 1980s, when the development of plastic injection-molded bumper reinforcements drove the innovation of our two-piece tips and inserts, to the highly complex chrome-plated grilles, moldings, and appliques of today, Synventive has been responding to the automotive market’s desire for cutting-edge styling and high durability required of parts that must survive a very harsh environment. We have done this by listening to the voice of our customers and inventing accordingly.

Lightweighting

Bring Your Long-Range EV Goals to Life

The future of automotive lies in plastics, specifically innovative, lightweight materials that can be molded perfectly while reducing the part weight to increase the vehicle’s range. New biomaterials bring a lot of exciting possibilities to the future of injection molding, and with those possibilities come a new set of processing challenges. 
 
Synventive’s applications consultants will help you from your mold build development process through your technology selection and trial planning. We are ready to bring molders tomorrow’s way of molding, today.

Engine

Mold Robust Under Hood Parts Quickly

More and more frequently, when you open the hood of a car you can see little, if any, of the engine. The appearance of an engine compartment has become as important as the interior and exterior styling of the vehicle. 
 
Synventive provides systems for a variety of engine, under hood, and functional components for the automotive market. Typically, these parts will be molded in materials that have a variety of fillers to withstand a harsh environment. This not only makes the resin abrasive but also makes achieving the cosmetic requirements of the part a challenge in itself. With a multitude of tips, inserts, and valve pins made of differing materials, Synventive again excels in this area of automotive molding.

Lighting

Beautiful Lighting Solutions for High-Quality Parts

A quick look around any parking lot will reveal how important exterior lighting is to the overall styling of today’s vehicles. More often than not you will notice that headlamp and tail lamp assemblies are molded in two, three, or even four different colors. This requires a very sophisticated injection molding machine, mold, and hot runner system.
 
Synventive has responded to this by developing systems that are literally “Plug ‘n Play.” With the uniqueness of pre-wired and pre-plumbed hot runner systems that boast angled manifolds with threaded nozzles, finished valve pins, and clearly labeled connections for both electrical and hydraulic connections, installing a hot runner system for an exterior lighting application has never been easier. Furthermore, we can gate on more drastic angles on the part surface than our competition due to these excellent design attributes.

Easily Mold Large Parts With Robust Materials

Synventive supports the heavy truck as it does the automotive market. From the demanding nature of parts that require color change or those made from a highly abrasive material, we provide the same level of engineering support, technical service, and innovation that has made us the leader in the automotive world.
 
The only difference is readily apparent – these applications tend to be for much larger injection-molded parts. To this end, our experience in large part automotive has served us well and allows us to meet every application with the utmost confidence.

Auto Electrics

As in everyday life, electrical components play an increasingly important role in the automotive sector. Power electronics components such as inverters, connectors, sensors, housings, plugs and much more require precisely manufactured parts that are subject to special requirements in terms of robustness, temperature range, vibration and shock resistance, and reliability.

Electric vehicles, in particular, are equipped with a variety of sensors and control systems to monitor and control the operation of the vehicle. The manufacturing of housings and components for these sensor systems requires special engineering plastics that meet the requirements for resistance to environmental influences, temperature fluctuations and vibrations.

Bio & Recyclables

 

In today's world, efforts are increasingly being made to replace conventional plastic with bio-based materials and recyclables in order to reduce environmental impact and improve sustainability. Synventive hot runner systems can also be used in the processing of recyclables. When processing recyclables, the composition and behavior of the material can vary, which may require specific adjustments to injection molding parameters. By precisely controlling temperature profiles and melt flow, hot runner systems can help ensure uniform distribution of the recyclables in the injection mold and minimize potential processing problems.
