Getting the Most Out of Injection Molding Simulation
Multiple speakers at Molding 2023 will address the ways simulation can impact material substitution decisions, process profitability and simplification of mold design.
Simulation has long been a powerful tool allowing molders to pinpoint potential design and process pitfalls on a computer screen — before mold steel has been cut — instead of discovering them on the production floor, when the time and cost to fix the issue(s) quickly becomes prohibitive. As the technology advances, it provides molders even greater capabilities, giving them new tools to apply.
At Molding 2023 (Hyatt Regency Minneapolis; August 29-30), multiple speakers will address different ways simulation can positively impact injection molding operations.
- Moldflow Material Substitution Process: How to Find Equivalent Grades — David Corsi, Beaumont Technologies
- Dramatically Improve Molding Profitability with Injection Molding Simulation — Todd Bryant, Paulson
- How Front-End Simulation Alleviates the Challenges of Plastic Injection Mold Design. — Christopher Blake, Maya HTT
Learn more about Molding 2023, which will be collocating with MoldMaking Technology magazine’s MoldMaking Conference (registrants to either event can attend both), including speakers addressing sustainability and automation.
Attendees to Moldmaking 2023 (August 29-30; Minneapolis, Minn.) will see multiple presentations touching on the role of simulation in injection molding today.
