How to reduce material costs in mass production?

2025-07-31

Reducing material costs in mass production requires comprehensive control of the entire process, from design optimization and process innovation to supply chain management. The following are seven proven core strategies:

1. Cost Reduction in the Design Phase (Source Control)

Uniform Material Design

Establishing a corporate material database and prioritizing standard parts across product lines can reduce procurement complexity by over 30%.

Increasing part reuse through modular design. For example, one company increased mold reuse by 50% through universal interface design.

Lightweighting and Subtractive Design

Using topology optimization technology, Reducing material usage while maintaining strength, typical cases show a 15%-20% reduction in raw material usage.

II. Process and Production Optimization

Precision Cutting Technology

Using nesting software to optimize sheet metal cutting paths, metal sheet utilization can be increased from 65% to 85%. Continuous processing (such as serial cutting of multiple aluminum profile parts) reduces scrap generation, reducing material loss per piece by 12% during mass production.

Waste Recycling System

Establishing a scrap recycling and melting system to remelt and reuse aluminum alloy processing scrap can reduce raw material procurement by 8%-10%.
