Mouldflow

Benefits of Mouldflow

Design and analyze virtually all types of hot and cold sprues and runner systems
Obtain optimally sized runners to balance flow in multi-cavity and family molds
Determine the best gate locations and the optimum number of gates
Predict estimated cycle time, clamp tonnage and shot volume
Assess the manufacturing feasibility of the mold design layout
Identify the most suitable plastics material candidate
Identify and eliminate cosmetic issues such as sink marks, weld lines and air traps
Obtain practical, results-specific advice on improving the part and mold design
Visualize the orientation of the plastic to aid in maximizing part strength, especially in the vicinity of weld lines
View distributions of pressure, flow-front temperature and polymer orientation and predict weld-line and air-trap
Locate and Identify areas of high, non-uniform volumetric shrinkage, which could contribute to part warpage
View the distribution of cooling time to identify areas that dictate cycle time.
Display the deflected shape of the part to visualize part shrinkage and warpage
Design, create and evaluate cooling circuits to achieve uniform cooling and minimize cycle time
