Challenge

Minimize the number of mold iterations associated with each plastic injection-molding manufacturing job to satisfy customer time-to-market requirements while simultaneously reducing internal costs.

Solution

Add SOLIDWORKS Plastics Premium injection- mold simulation software to its SOLIDWORKS mechanical design installation.

Results

  • Cut weeks from back end of mold and tooling development process

  • Minimized number of mold iterations

  • Increased accuracy of mold- lling simulations

  • Saved money spent on unnecessary mold iterations

SOLIDWORKS Plastics Premium software provides the advanced capabilities—such as post-filling, cycle optimization, cooling analysis, and warp prediction—that allow us to simulate complex mold scenarios, accelerate customer time-to-market, and reduce internal launch costs.
