When You Need The Best, Choose The Leader in Moldflow Analysis
With injection molding, it’s all about the bottom line. Do you have the right materials selected? Is your part designed with the optimal gate size and location? What process makes the most sense? We can analyze, identify, and solve your most pressing injection molding problems so you can manufacture your part, on time and on budget.

Eliminate Trail and Error for Better Part Design
We work with you to help with part to print, identify warpage concerns, optimize cycle times, and improve the processing window. No matter your position, we will make sure you succeed.
Filling analysis is the fundamental building block upon which all molding simulation is built. It predicts the filling patterns for a number of gating scenarios and identifies the one most beneficial to the part quality and molding efficiency.
Cooling analysis solves the problem of providing both uniform and efficient cooling to an injection mold, leading to better part quality and increased profit margins through reduced cycle times.
The ability to not only predict, but determine the cause of warpage is one of the real strengths of Moldflow analysis. Our engineers use this information to significantly reduce or eliminate the warpage in your part, to avoid problems down the road!
Gas assist analysis identifies the feasibility of achieving efficient gas penetration in areas designed to be cored out.
Co-injection analysis will help determine the appropriate gate location and timing for shooting both the A & B materials. This optimizes the amount of B material being used and keeps it from blowing through the A material.
Injection-compression molding is often used in thin-wall applications to help reduce molded-in stress by filling plastic into a slightly opened (i.e., thicker) mold and closing the mold to complete the filling. Analysis helps determine the best gate locations and the resulting decrease in clamp force requirements.
2-shot analysis requires balanced gate locations that avoid prominent knit lines. Air traps for the 2nd shot should be pushed to the parting line instead of up against the 1st shot material.
Core shift analysis identifies excessive shifting of deep cores due to pressure imbalance and its resulting effects on the thickness of the plastic walls.
DOE analysis identifies which inputs are most influential and calculates their level of influence on any number of outputs.
Fiber orientation analysis is essential to accurate warpage predictions and helps determine the best gating and filling pattern to deliver the most advantageous fiber orientation.
Compression analysis identifies the best location for the placement of the “charge” to provide complete and balanced filling.
MuCell (microcellular) molding is a mechanical foaming process used to lightweight plastic parts and reduce warpage. Moldflow analysis will help determine the best gate location and processing to achieve efficient foaming distribution.
Moldflow Analysis (MFA) is a software simulation process used in injection molding to predict how plastic, resin, or other materials will flow into a mold cavity during manufacturing. It helps plastics engineers, product designers, and mold builders identify potential problems before creating physical molds which can drastically reduce costs, saves time, and helps prevent material waste.
Once a mold design is complete, Moldflow analysis helps to determine the number of gates needed, gate locations, identifies material choke points/hotspots, helps to predict short fill and sink mark locations, as well as many other parameters to optimize a mold design and improve process windows.
Moldflow consulting involves using simulation software like Autodesk Moldflow to analyze and optimize plastic injection mold designs, helping to solve manufacturing problems before they occur and reduce costs. Moldflow consultants analyze part and mold designs, cooling systems, and processing setups to predict and prevent issues like warpage, short fills, and sink marks. This service helps ensure a more efficient and high-quality production process from the start with these 5 key benefits.

Expertise: Look for firms with a deep understanding of plastic injection molding, not just software certification.
-
Experience: Consultants should have experience in plastics, design, and tooling.
-
Software proficiency: While certification is a plus, it's also important that the consultant can use the software effectively to solve real-world problems.
-
Comprehensive services: Consulting firms should also offer software sales, training, and material characterization, which can provide a single point of contact for your needs.
