Plastic parts and injection mold
simulation software
SOLIDWORKS® Plastics makes it easy for companies that design plastic parts or injection molds to predict and avoid manufacturing defects during the earliest stages of design, eliminating costly rework, improving quality, and accelerating time-to-market.
Why Choose SOLIDWORKS Plastics?
SOLIDWORKS® Plastics delivers easy-to-use simulation for analysing plastic parts and injection molds. It simulates how melted plastic flows during the injection molding process to predict manufacturing-related defects so you can quickly evaluate part manufacturability while you design.
IME TV: SOLIDWORKS Plastics Simulation
Key Benefits:

Avoid hidden cost by optimising part wall thickness, gate locations, runner system size and layout

Reduce manufacturing defects and scraps by analysing design iterations at the earliest stages of product development process

Predict and avoid potential manufacturing defects before any mold tooling is cut, reducing the time-to-market delays

Provides automated report generation tools that allow collaboration among development teams at different sites.
