Moldflow Services

Are you facing these issues?

  • Need to make accurate design decisions without building multiple physical prototypes.
  • Time to market is often the critical factor in the success or failure of a product.
  • Part defects discovered in manufacturing delay production, cost time and money to fix, and in the worst case, may require new mold tooling to resolve.
  • Need to accurately simulate real-world injection molding processing conditions.
  • Confidence in simulation results is required before investing resources in design changes or new products.

Basic Plastic Insert Molding Knowledge

What is Moldflow?

It is a simulation software that is used to analyze and optimize the design of plastic injection molds and the injection molding process. It uses computer-aided engineering (CAE) to predict the behavior of molten plastic as it flows through the mold cavity during the injection molding process. This allows engineers and designers to identify potential problems, such as warpage, sink marks, air traps, and filling imbalances, before the mold is manufactured and the part is produced. By simulating the process in advance, Mold flow can help optimize the design of the part, mold, and process parameters to improve quality, reduce cycle time, and minimize production costs. It is widely used in the plastic injection molding industry to ensure that products are designed and produced efficiently and effectively.

When should Mold flow Analysis be used?

It should be used during the product development process when designing and manufacturing plastic parts using injection molding. It is particularly useful for complex and large-scale projects where it is essential to optimize the design of the part, mold, and process parameters. Some specific scenarios when Moldflow analysis should be used are:

  1. New product development: When developing a new plastic part, Mold flow analysis can help optimize the design and identify potential manufacturing issues before investing in the production tooling.

  2. Design optimization: When modifying an existing part or mold design, Mold flow analysis can help identify potential problems and optimize the design to improve performance and reduce manufacturing costs.

  3. Material selection: When selecting the material for a plastic part, Mold flow analysis can predict how different materials will behave during the injection molding process and help choose the best option for the specific application.

  4. Production process optimization: When looking to optimize the injection molding process, Mold flow analysis can identify areas for improvement in the manufacturing process, such as cycle time reduction, scrap reduction, and energy savings.

In summary, Moldflow analysis can be used in many stages of the product development process to ensure that plastic parts are designed and manufactured optimally, cost-effectively, and efficiently.
