Part Feasibility Studies
CAE Services has analyzed tens of thousands of plastic injection molds, completing part feasibility studies including and moving beyond Moldflow simulation.
CAE Services (Batavia, Ill.) will showcase its part feasibility study capabilities at the (March 29-31; Donald E. Stephens Convention Center; Rosemont, Ill.). The company notes that over the years it has learned that many injection molding problems can be avoided by paying attention to good part design and mold design standards.
By undertaking in-depth part feasibility studies up front, many of the problems that occur in the molding process can be improved before CAE Services starts optimizing designs through Moldflow simulation. These services include: wall stock check to help identify excessive wall-stock variations that can help avoid excessive shrinkage variation; draft analysis, which identifies areas that need attention; and tooling action, which identifies areas and features of the part that will require lifters/slides, etc.
