Development services right from the start
Simulation
Minimal development times with consistently high product quality require the increased use of modern simulation methods in many areas of design. This applies in particular to the molded part and mold design of injection molded components. The use of modern digital development environments right from the start makes your development process sustainable and avoids unnecessary cost-intensive iteration loops. The ideal solution is to link process and structure simulation in order to make the molded part design as fit as possible for the defined application. We support you in this.
PLASTIC INJECTION MOLDING SIMULATION leads to a transparent process
The clever one is the one who simulates "correctly" right from the start. What does that mean? As early as the molded part development phase, process simulation is used to check the design for suitability to the plastic and technological feasibility. This is followed by optimization of the mold design in order to be prepared for robust series production. All of this is done in virtual space with minimum resource input and maximum benefit.
Get in touch with us! We can help you develop plastic products with manufacturing in mind. Whether it is the injection molding process of compact, chemically or physically foamed thermoplastics, gas injection, 2-component injection molding or PUR processing: The close interlocking of design and processing technology in combination with many years of practical experience are the guarantee for interpreting the simulation results in a target-oriented manner and drawing the right conclusions. Missing material data for injection molding processes are no problem. We generate these in the accredited test laboratory of the KUZ.

Pushing the limits with STRESS SIMULATION
The shaping of injection molded parts is subject to the rules of plastic and process design. The resulting design has a significant influence on function and material stress. During the concept phase and accompanying product development, simulations should be used to check whether the functions can be guaranteed and the mechanical loads transferred from the product. Deficiencies discovered here save later iteration loops, which mean considerable additional expense in terms of time and money.
A holistic view means that attention should also be paid to sufficient strength and rigidity of the mold during the design and layout of molding tools in order to meet the quality requirements of the final product.
The combination of the development process with the simulative verification of the respective development status is lived practice at our company.
