Simulation of injection molding & injection compression molding of plastics

Injection molding simulation


WESTCAM – Service plastics

WESTCAM helps you to improve the quality of the manufactured parts during injection molding and injection compression molding of plastic parts. We work alongside you to tackle production challenges such as part warpage, cooling channel efficiency, material selection and cycle time reduction.

The plastics industry is of great importance, which is why WESTCAM offers not only the right software but also corresponding services for thermoplastic injection molding simulation.

WESTCAM SERVICE: Injection molding simulation

The plastics industry is of great importance, which is why WESTCAM offers not only the right software but also corresponding services for thermoplastic injection molding simulation.

As a long-standing AUTODESK Gold Partner, we rely on the most powerful software for injection molding simulation, Autodesk MOLDFLOW.

“Benefit from the unique patented deformation technology, based on around 6000 shrinkage-characterized material data!”

If you only need injection molding simulations occasionally, we are happy to act as an extended workbench and offer you calculation services.

We will be happy to advise you and provide you with a customized offer:

Calculation of tool cooling

  • Cooling channels created using center lines as beams (1-D replacement elements)
  • Comparison of normal / near-contour cooling (3D cooling channel)
  • Calculation of variothermal cooling
  • Transient calculation
  • Temperature distribution in the tool

Calculation of the filling

  • Processing window
  • Filling behavior
  • Simple holding pressure profile
  • sink marks, air pockets, weld lines
  • Density distribution, shear

Calculation delay

  • Deformation of all influences
  • Deformation due to shrinkage, cooling, fiber orientation

Explanation via web streaming

  • Estimation of the cycle time based on the assumptions made
  • Preparation of the results (PPT, MFR)
  • Discussion of possible optimizations on the component

Special procedure

  • 2K, inserts, core offset, gas injection;
