Mold Flow
Mold flow analysis, a virtual simulation tool for plastic injection molding, is another important step in avoiding costly mistakes. Mold flow analysis aids in refining the part and tool design based upon the predicted mould environment. It also avoids potential manufacturing defects and helps speed innovative products to market faster.
Using mold flow software in a CAD environment, allows computer-generated experimentation of a solid model to explore what happens during the injection cycle in the mold. This powerful software tool can help develop and test single- or multi-cavity runner systems prior to completion of the mould design stage.
At CTM, we are experienced at evaluating plastic injection molding design performance including predicting potential problems and interpreting risks. Our customers value this attention to detail during the critical design phase.
