Plastic Injection Molding Simulation Tools

Autodesk® Moldflow® plastic injection molding simulation software, part of the Autodesk solution for Digital Prototyping, provides tools that help manufacturers validate and optimise the design of plastic parts and injection molds, and study the plastic injection molding process. Companies worldwide use Autodesk® Moldflow® Adviser and Autodesk® Moldflow® Insight simulation software to help reduce the need for costly physical prototypes, avoid potential manufacturing defects and get innovative products to market faster.

• Plastic flow simulation - Simulate how melted plastic flows through molds to optimise designs and reduce problems in the manufacturing process.
• Feed system simulation - Model and optimise runner systems and gating configurations.
• Mold cooling simulation - Improve mold cooling system efficiency.
• Thermoset flow simulation - Simulate thermoset injection molding, RIM/SRIM, resin transfer molding and rubber compound injection molding.
• Shrinkage and warpage simulation - Simulate shrinkage and warpage in parts and molds.
• Specialised molding processes - Simulate plastic molding processes.
• Meshing technology - Work with thin-walled, thick and solid geometry.
• Material data - Improve simulation accuracy with precise material data.
