Composite Simulation Solution
What Is Moldex3D Composite Molding?
Moldex3D Composite Molding is a simulation solution developed to study the processing behaviour of fibre-reinforced thermoplastic and thermoset composite materials.
Engineers can examine how resin and fibre materials move through a mold, how fibres become oriented, how the material cures or solidifies and how the manufacturing process influences final part dimensions and performance.
The simulation results help product designers, material specialists, mold designers and manufacturing engineers make better decisions before producing physical tooling and composite components.
