MPI/SHRINK Prediction of part shrinkage and critical dimensions
MPI/SHRINK Predicts part shrinkage and provides information for optimization of mold cavity dimensions.
What does MPI/SHRINK do ? • Uses filling and packing results from MPI/FLOW • Provides precise, optimum shrinkage values and shrinkage variation across the mold • Only product to offer shrinkage calculation independent of warpage analysis
MPI/SHRINK - Features • Calculates single value of shrinkage • Calculates variation of shrinkage in x,y & z directions • Indicates if tolerances cannot be met using a single value for shrinkage
MPI/SHRINK - Benefits • Time to Market • less prototype tooling • Part Quality • consistent part dimension • Cost Savings • less reject rate • reduces ‘safeguard’ practices
Key Issues Addressed • Can the design tolerances be met by using a single shrinkage allowance ? • What shrinkage allowances should be used ? • Will the design tolerances be met using this material grade ? • What size should the tool be cut to ?
