Moldex3D’s Innovative Simulation Solution for Optical Liquid Silicone Rubber Molding Was Published in Rubber World Magazine The effective development of components is increasingly reliant on simulations, offering substantial savings by reducing the need for iterative loops in the prototype phase. Moldex3D collaborated with Shin Etsu Silicones of America and partner M.R. Mold & Engineering to lead efforts in understanding and resolving molding issues. The study utilized an optical LSR grade provided by Shin-Etsu, focusing on tooling, filling, and curing defects. https://lnkd.in/gbHAsPyp #Moldex3D #ShinEtsuSiliconesofAmerica #MRMold #RubberWorldMagazine #LSR #cae #injectionmold #plasticsengineering #plastics #plasticmold #precisionmold #plasticmold #mouldmaking #plasticinjectionmoulding #injectionmould #moldmanufacturing #moldmaker #moldex3dprofessional #plasticsindustry #partdesign #moldingdefects #molding #moldmaking #plasticsengineering #plasticinjectionmolding #injectionmolding #simulation #simulationsoftware #Engineering #PlasticsEngineering #ProductDesign #MoldDesign #IndustrialDesign #MechanicalEngineering #ProcessEngineering

Valve Gate Control: Optimal Solution for Weld Lines and Non-Uniform Flow Density. Valve gate is one of the key components in a hot runner system, such as multi-gate system. The valve gate can be either shut off to prevent the melt from entering the cavity or opened to release the melt into the cavity under certain controls. This feature is important since multi-gate system is susceptible to particular issues like weld lines. Furthermore, a proper valve gate control can help users minimize the variation in flow density, which is a common cause of stress marks or pressure transition marks that can appear as undesirable surface defects such as uneven gloss or reflection marks. Moldex3D allows users to freely choose specific controls that meet their needs. For example, time, flow front, or ram position control can be chosen to open or close the valve gate. Moreover, this valve gate control function supports not only filling stage but also packing simulation. It provides users with a comprehensive control of the system. #Moldex3D #cae #injectionmold #plasticsengineering #plastics #plasticmold #precisionmold #plasticmold #mouldmaking #plasticinjectionmoulding #injectionmould #moldmanufacturing #moldmaker #moldex3dprofessional #plasticsindustry #partdesign #moldingdefects #molding #moldmaking #plasticsengineering #plasticinjectionmolding #injectionmolding #simulation #simulationsoftware #Engineering #PlasticsEngineering #ProductDesign #MoldDesign #IndustrialDesign #MechanicalEngineering #ProcessEngineering

Two-shot Injection-Compression molding Two-shot Injection-Compression molding (2K-ICM) has immense potential to realize single-part solutions for large and complex components with high surface areas. The development of aesthetic defects like sink marks in 2K-ICM is governed by a complex interplay of several factors. The objectives were to demonstrate a simulation framework for 2K-ICM by leveraging Moldex3D to capture the key aspects of the process for a model-ribbed geometry and investigate the geometrical and processing factors underlying the development of sink marks. Challenges: - Lack of full understanding of 2K-ICM. - Complicated design and process guidelines for 2K-ICM. - Sink marks.

Why Bi-Injection Molding Simulation? Bi-Injection Molding is one variant of multiple-component molding process. It is generally applied to two-colored plastics, such as automotive lamps, mobile casting, or toothbrush. In the process, two plastic materials are injected into one mold cavity via two independent gates. The plastic flows will meet in the cavity and result in a variety of configuration. The position of the border line can be defined through flow rate controls. Therefore, it is crucial to utilize Moldex3D in the verification and optimization of part/mold designs, process parameters, etc. Click below link to know What Can Moldex3D Do🎇🎇 https://lnkd.in/gX_UxG7Q #Moldex3D #cae #injectionmold #plasticsengineering #plastics #plasticmold #precisionmold #plasticmold #mouldmaking #plasticinjectionmoulding #injectionmould #moldmanufacturing #moldmaker #moldex3dprofessional #plasticsindustry #partdesign #moldingdefects #molding #moldmaking #plasticsengineering #plasticinjectionmolding #injectionmolding #simulation #simulationsoftware #Engineering #PlasticsEngineering #ProductDesign #MoldDesign #IndustrialDesign #MechanicalEngineering #ProcessEngineering

Curing Effect on Viscosity of Epoxy The most important material information in flow simulation is viscosity. The viscosity of a melted epoxy relates to temperature and shear rate. It is obvious that by measuring the viscosity of each instant moment at a certain heating rate under a fixed shear rate, the curves similar to below can be obtained. Because there is almost no chemical reaction at low temperatures, the viscosity decreases as the temperature rises. When the temperature is high enough, the cross-linking effect starts to occur, and thus the viscosity starts to increase as well. #Moldex3D #cae #injectionmold #plasticsengineering #plastics #plasticmold #precisionmold #plasticmold #mouldmaking #plasticinjectionmoulding #injectionmould #moldmanufacturing #moldmaker #moldex3dprofessional #plasticsindustry #partdesign #moldingdefects #molding #moldmaking #plasticsengineering #plasticinjectionmolding #injectionmolding #simulation #simulationsoftware #Engineering #PlasticsEngineering #ProductDesign #MoldDesign #IndustrialDesign #MechanicalEngineering #ProcessEngineering
