How Simulation Improves Injection Molding Challenges

Creating tooling for injection molding is an expensive and complex proposition. Until recently, the only way to avoid tooling defects causing air traps, voids, shrinkage and the like was to employ a time-consuming and tedious physical prototyping process. 

Virtual simulation environments have made it possible to simulate the process of injection molding to ensure that tooling is accurate. 

In this white paper from Dassault Systèmes, you will learn: 

  • How DS validated its SOLIDWORKS Plastics software with UMass-Lowell
  • How mold-filling simulations can improve mold design and reduce manufacturing costs for your company
  • How injection molding simulation can help optimize and improve mold design

As injection molding becomes an increasingly important part of product design, the ability to reduce the cost of tooling and speed up production cycles will be necessary. Software such as SOLIDWORKS Plastics can make the process of achieving those goals more manageable.
