Foam Molding Simulation Gains Better Bubble-Shrinkage Prediction

Microcellular foam molding simulation improves prediction of cell size and distribution in thin sections, core-back processes.

Going for the Green vs. Getting in the Hole

Too often when designing a tool or establishing a process, molders go for the hole in one when they only need to aim for the green.

Upgraded Simulation Package Adds Nozzle Zone & Conformal Cooling ‘Wizards’

Wizards assist conformal-cooling layout and simulation of melt compression in the nozzle in Moldex3D 2021.

Simulating Two-Shot Molding: How Does the First Shot Affect Overall Part Warpage?

Moldex3D simulation can integrate analysis of the first-shot temperature, pressure, and fiber orientation into warpage analysis of the second shot.

Injection Molding: Store, Manage & Analyze Mold Simulation Data in the Cloud

Moldex3D iSLM helps manage, share and easily analyze large volumes of mold simulation data.

Injection Molding: Updated Mold-Filling Analysis Is 30% Faster

The newest generation of 3D simulation software takes aim at screw designs as well as hot-runner, mold, and part design.

The New Dimension in Mold Simulation

Keep an eye on the increasing prominence of so-called “3D” mold analysis. Two vendors of simulation software from Europe and Asia think it’s the best solution for a big proportion of injection molded parts. Established U.S. suppliers aren’t so sure. In any case, the capabilities of both 3D and standard 2.5D simulation are expanding rapidly.
