See What Happens Inside the Mold Before You Cut Steel.
Moldex3D is an advanced true-3D plastic molding simulation solution that helps product designers, mold makers and molding professionals predict manufacturing problems, optimize product and mold designs, improve process conditions and reduce costly physical mold trials.
True 3D Molding Simulation
Understand complex melt-flow, thermal behavior, pressure, shrinkage and deformation inside real plastic part geometries.
Engineering Insight Before Manufacturing
Moldex3D is CAE software specifically developed for plastic molding simulation. It enables engineers to digitally investigate the behavior of plastic material inside a mold and identify potential manufacturing problems during the product and tooling development stages.
Engineers can evaluate multiple design and process alternatives virtually before committing to expensive tooling modifications.
From Filling to Final Part Warpage
Analyze the complete injection molding process and understand what is happening inside the cavity before producing the physical mold.
Flow Analysis
Visualize melt-front advancement, filling patterns, flow hesitation, air traps, weld-line locations and pressure requirements.
Pack Analysis
Evaluate packing pressure, volumetric shrinkage, density distribution and pressure transmission through the cavity.
Cooling Analysis
Analyze mold temperatures, cooling-channel performance, hot spots and cooling time to improve thermal balance and cycle efficiency.
Warpage Analysis
Predict final part deformation and investigate shrinkage, thermal effects, fiber orientation and residual stress contributing to warpage.
Fiber Orientation
Predict fiber orientation in reinforced thermoplastics and understand its influence on anisotropic material behavior and warpage.
