Mold Flow Analysis
Moldflow allows us to create and simulate plastic flow through single cavity, multi-cavity and family molds. We can optimize gate type, size and location as well as runner layout, size and cross-sectional shape. Analysis results include cycle time, clamp tonnage, and shot size, all of which help the design-to-manufacturing team size the injection molding machine, minimize cycle times and reduce manufacturing waste. Moldflow allows us to simulate most phases of the injection molding process and evaluate molded part performance and cooling circuit design.
