Practical Strategies for Reducing Custom UHPC Component Mould Costs in Small and Medium-Sized Projects

The high proportion of mold costs in small and medium-sized projects is a common challenge, which can be effectively reduced through standardized design, modular combinations, and resource sharing. Qinglong Group has developed dedicated solutions for small and medium-sized projects, reducing the mold cost ratio from 25%-30% to 15%-20%, making small-batch customization economically viable.

Standardized design is the core of cost reduction. Wherever allowed, standard panel types should be adopted as much as possible to reduce the variety of molds. Qinglong Group has established a library of standard components, offering hundreds of options to meet most requirements. For necessary customized parts, parametric design is used to optimize the mold structure and reduce complexity. In an office building project for a small and medium-sized enterprise in Dongguan, personalized effects were achieved through the combination of standard panels, saving 40% in mold costs.

Modular molds enable multiple uses. Adjustable molds have been developed that adapt to different shapes by swapping active modules. Qinglong Group's combined mold system allows one set of main molds to produce 5-8 variants through adjustments, greatly improving utilization. Mold materials are also optimized, with economical materials used for non-critical parts, reducing costs without compromising quality.

Innovative resource sharing models have been introduced. A mold rental platform has been established, allowing small projects to rent existing molds. Group purchasing is also an effective approach, where projects with similar needs place joint orders to spread out mold costs. Through these innovations, even small projects can enjoy high-quality customization services.
