SHRINKAGE AND WARPAGE SIMULATION
- CADMOULD Warp computes the following results:
- Shrinkage
- Warpage
- Deformation
- Temperatures after molding
- You can combine CADMOULD Warp with its sister module Unwarp, in order to also compute mold compensations, and to get ultra-high-resolution export capability of simulated warped parts (e.g. to metrology software or to 3D printing).
ANISOTROPIC SHRINKAGE AND WARPAGE
If you are working with fiber-reinforced materials, fiber orientations have a meaningful effect on shrinkage and warpage. In combination with our FIBER module, WARP enables you to take such anisotropic effects into account in your warpage simulations.
DEFORMATION OF INSERTS
In combination with our 2K and Inserts module, Warp can also simulate the deformation of inserts during the injection process.
BENEFITS OF CADMOULD WARP
- Precisely anticipate shrinkage and warpage
- Solve warpage issues by optimizing process parameters, adapting the mold design or changing wall thicknesses
- Use precise virtual measurement tools, to check compliance with dimensions
- Reduce sampling and waste, since warpage can be optimized beforehand
- As a result, better first-time right ratio and reduction of costly tool corrections. This results in significant time and cost savings
- The simulation results enable you to discuss options, advantages and disadvantages with your customers and colleagues
