Moldex3D helps product designers, mould makers and manufacturers investigate plastic flow behaviour, predict manufacturing defects, validate part and mould designs and improve manufacturability before physical mould trials.
Identify potential issues earlier in the development cycle.
Validate design and process alternatives virtually.
Diagnose common filling, packing, cooling and warpage issues.
Reduce rework, manufacturing costs and development delays.
Investigate the entire moulding cycle using connected Flow, Pack, Cool and Warp analyses.
Visualise how molten plastic fills the cavity and identify filling-related manufacturing risks.
Evaluate the packing stage and its influence on shrinkage, pressure and final part quality.
Investigate mould-temperature distribution and cooling efficiency throughout the production cycle.
Predict the final part shape and understand the causes of dimensional distortion.
Detect common manufacturing issues during the virtual validation stage and improve product structure, appearance and manufacturability.
Expand beyond standard injection moulding with specialised analysis, materials, cooling, automation and computing tools.
Evaluate conventional and advanced mould-temperature management technologies.
Simulate products manufactured using multiple materials, inserts or sequential moulding operations.
Study material behaviour and the influence of reinforcement on mechanical performance and dimensional stability.
Analyse a broad range of conventional and specialised plastic-processing technologies.
Prepare complex parts, runners, inserts and mould systems using scalable mesh technologies.
Connect simulation with CAD and automate repetitive preprocessing, solving and reporting activities.
Reduce analysis time by distributing demanding simulation workloads across available computing resources.
Investigate optical, structural, machine and polymer behaviour using specialised modules.
Review simulation results and communicate findings using visual, quantitative and report-based tools.
