PTXPO 2026 Moldflow Exhibitors Booth #335

March 17–19 | Rosemont, Illinois

If you’ve ever stared at a short shot, sink, warp, burn, or a stubborn weld line and thought, “We’re so close—why is this still happening?” — you’re speaking our language.

We’re the Moldflow analysts at CAE Services, and we’ll be exhibiting at PTXPO 2026 in Rosemont, IL, March 17–19, at Booth #335. We work every day at the intersection of design, tooling, and processing—using simulation to turn uncertainty into informed decisions before steel is cut and before press time gets expensive.

What Moldflow analysis should actually do for you

Moldflow isn’t just a box to check at kickoff. When done right, it’s a decision-making tool that reduces risk across the entire program.

As analysts, our role is to translate experience and intuition into predicted outcomes you can plan around:

• Will the part fill—robustly and repeatably?

• Where will hesitation, race tracking, or gas traps show up?

• What’s really driving warp: material behavior, cooling imbalance, gating, or geometry?

• Are weld lines cosmetic, structural, or both—and can they be relocated or strengthened?

• What does a realistic, defensible process window look like?

Good simulation doesn’t aim for perfection—it aims to give you clarity early enough to avoid preventable problems.

At PTXPO, our focus is practical Moldflow analysis that directly supports tooling and molding decisions, not just attractive contour plots.

Stop by if you want to talk about:

1) Gate, runner, and balancing strategy (cold or hot runner)From family tools to pressure imbalance and shear concerns, we evaluate flow behavior, temperature profiles, and packing efficiency to drive consistency cavity-to-cavity.

2) Cooling effectiveness and cycle-time realismCooling is often the biggest lever—and the biggest unknown. We assess cooling layouts, heat removal efficiency, and thermal balance so your cycle-time targets are based on physics, not best-case assumptions.

3) Warpage root-cause and correction pathsWarp rarely has a single cause. We break it down—shrinkage, orientation, temperature gradients, constraint—and help prioritize corrections that don’t create new downstream issues.

4) Risk reduction for new materials and recycled-content blendsMaterial changes introduce variability fast. Simulation helps quantify sensitivity and processing risk before those surprises show up on the press.

In addition to project-based analysis, CAE Services also provides Moldflow training and certification programs designed to build internal expertise—not just dependency on external reports.

We offer structured training for:

• New users building foundational Moldflow skills

• Intermediate analysts looking to better interpret results and avoid common pitfalls

• Advanced users focused on complex filling, cooling, warpage, and troubleshooting

• Tooling, processing, and engineering teams who need to understand Moldflow outputs—even if they don’t run the software daily

Our training is grounded in real-world molding scenarios, not canned examples. We focus on:

• How to set up studies correctly

• How to interpret results critically

• How to connect simulation outputs to tooling and process decisions

• How to avoid false confidence from misleading or incomplete studies

Certification isn’t about checking a box—it’s about ensuring your team can trust what they’re seeing and confidently act on it.

What it’s like working with CAE Services

We don’t operate in a silo. We work as an extension of your design, tooling, and molding teams:

• Clear recommendations, not just simulation output

• Communication in plain manufacturing language

• Early risk identification with realistic trade-offs

• A focus on robust, repeatable production, not hero shots

  
  

Our goal is simple: fewer surprises, fewer iterations, and fewer expensive guesses.
