This is exactly where MONOLITH® shows its strength. The smaller cut-out combined with larger melt channels creates entirely new geometric possibilities. Designers can arrange items more flexibly, design tools more compactly, and often even use smaller injection molding machines. The result: higher efficiency throughout the entire production cycle.
What often surprises: Despite the significantly reduced installation space, larger injection volumes and higher article weights can be achieved with MONOLITH® – even with demanding technical materials. The additively manufactured nozzles are slimmer, but have a larger material tube cross-section and are more stable than many conventional solutions. Closer nozzle distances and an overall smaller tool structure are often simply not feasible with standard market systems.

MONOLITH® vs. conventional hot runner technology - when installation space suddenly becomes an efficiency driver
"In many conversations with toolmakers and processors, the colleagues from our sales team and I repeatedly hear the same desire: more freedom in design – without compromising the process," says Stephan Ochse.

Another point that customers particularly appreciate: MONOLITH® is not bound by classic standards, such as nozzle length. This offers enormous advantages for existing tools. Our MONOLITH® hot runner systems can often be integrated into existing tools – even when hot runner systems from other manufacturers are in use and the process has previously caused problems. Adapting to existing geometries is not an exception but a lived practice.
What personally convinces me:
The applications in the field repeatedly confirm these arguments. MONOLITH® is not a theoretical concept, but a solution that works in everyday life—more efficiently, flexibly, and economically than conventional hot runner technology.
