Results of weight/volume optimization of moulding inserts with CCC

Moulding insert	Weight	Volume	Maximum equivalent (Von-Mises) stress
Core
Original	1,995 g	709 cm³	132 MPa
Optimized	1,542 g	583 cm³	119 MPa
Reduction	≈ 21%	≈ 18%	≈ 10%
Cavity
Original	1,175 g	445 cm³	78 MPa
Optimized	995 g	377 cm³	74 MPa
Reduction	≈ 15%	≈ 15%	≈ 5%
