  1. MoldflowPlastics Insight Changing the way plastics parts and molds are analyzed and optimized

  2. If Producing Plastics Parts Was Easy... • Every mold manufactured would run perfectly first time every time • Every part would be fit for purpose and never fail in service • Failure to meet quality standards would never be an issue • Production rates would be maximized • Material use and waste would be minimized

  3. Problems Facing the Molding Industry • Non-optimized part and mold designs increase costs and time-to-market • At the design stage, Injection molding manufacturing constraints are rarely considered • The part and mold design process is often fragmented across company, geography, and technology

  4. Profitable Companies Must... • Analyze and optimize every part and mold design • Consider injection molding manufacturing constraints in the part and mold design phases • Implement technology that unites the part designer, mold designer, and injection molder

  5. Moldflow Solutions • Design Optimization Solutions • Predictive analysis tools for the simulation and optimization of the plastics part design, mold design, and injection molding process • Manufacturing Solutions • Software automation tools for the setup, optimization, monitoring and control of the injection molding process

  6. Moldflow Corporation • World’s leading supplier of software for the plastics injection molding industry • Global sales, support, and R&D • Global customer base • Constant innovation breeding new technology

  7. Moldflow Plastics Insight • World’s most widely used injection molding simulation software • Solution depth • The most extensive suite of predictive analysis tools for plastic injection molding • Geometry breadth • Applications forthin and thick walled geometry types

  8. Solution Depth MPI/Flow Predicts the flow of plastic throughout the injection molding cycle to ensure quality parts and optimized process. MPI/Cool Mold cooling analysis optimizes mold and cooling circuit design to achieve uniform component cooling within the minimum cycle time. MPI/Warp Predicts and controls the shrinkage and warpage of plastic parts, ensuring parts are fit for purpose.

  9. Solution Depth MPI/Stress Exclusive structural analysis for optimizing the structural integrity of plastic injection molded parts. MPI/Fiber Fiber orientation analysis that predicts the alignment of fibers within a plastic component to asses part stiffness. MPI/Shrink Predicts part shrinkage and provides information for optimization of mold cavity dimensions.

  10. Solution Depth MPI/Gas Optimization of the design and production of Gas Injection Molded (GIM) components. MPI/Co-Injection Predicts the injection molding of 2 thermoplastic polymers, and their distribution through the part thickness. MPI/Injection Compression Predicts the flow of plastic throughout the injection molding cycle and the effects of the compression process.

  11. Solution Depth MPI/Reactive Molding Predicts the flow and cure of thermoset plastic to ensure quality parts and optimized process. MPI/Microchip Encapsulation Extends Reactive Molding to examine microchip encapsulation, wire sweep and paddle shift. MPI/Underfill Encapsulation Extends Reactive Molding to examine the underfill (flip-chip) encapsulation process.

  12. Geometry Breadth Midplane Automatic midplane mesh generator prepares meshed solid models for analysis. Fusion The fastest way to perform an in-depth Flow, Cool and Warp simulation from a solid model. 3D True 3D Flow, Cool and Warp simulation for Thermoplastic and Reactive Molding.
