Advanced Simulation for High-Speed Production

Cadmould Flex reduces cycle times and improves the quality of parts, from bottle caps to seals.

From Caps to Closures: Precision at Speed

IML, multi-shot parts, and the need for speed: welcome to molding for consumer goods and packaging.

Managing Cycle Times

When you're producing millions of bottle caps, closures, or food containers, every second counts—but so does quality. Cycle times must be minimized without compromising on precision or surface quality.

Multi-Shot Molding & IML (In-Mold Labeling)

In multi-shot and IML applications, the interface makes all the difference. Unfortunately for manufacturers, ensuring seamless bonding between materials and labels in cosmetic and beverage packaging is (much) easier said than done.

Molding The Future

A shift toward PCR (post-consumer recycled) materials and bioplastics brings new challenges for manufacturers, who must adapt to these new materials while maintaining the superior mechanical properties consumers are used to.

Designing Reliable Snap-Fit & Functional Closures

Functional components like snap-fits and seals need to work every time, even when soft materials are involved. Manufacturers must ensure that even the smallest snap-in hooks are consistently filled and that hard-soft parts always fit accurately.

From Filling to Function: Mastering Every Molding Challenge

At SIMCON, we understand the challenges involved in producing millions of parts at high speed and high quality better than anyone. That’s why Cadmould Flex, our comprehensive simulation ecosystem, supports manufacturers with integrated analysis of filling, warpage, 2K molding, and mechanical behavior.

Predictable Cycles. Scalable Production.

Fill, a Cadmould Flex feature, identifies mold imbalances, hot spots, and temperature-critical areas before the physical mold has even opened. These early insights are a key step toward optimizing cooling times without sacrificing quality.

Perfectly Positioned. Reliably Bonded.

2K & Insert simulates temperature, shear, and deformation throughout the multi-shot molding and IML process, empowering you to ensure strong bonding, clean label placement, and consistent quality in even the most design-driven packaging.

More Recycled. Just As Reliable.

The more sustainable your material, the more sensitive your process. Varimos AI, the AI assistant for the Cadmould Flex ecosystem, uses machine learning to help you optimize your simulations and understand exactly how increasing recycled content impacts flow, filling, and part performance. It empowers you to test blends virtually, adjust process parameters, and confidently balance sustainability and quality.

Click. Seal. Perform.

Snap-fit joints and tamper-proof seals? No problem. Part FEM models the mechanical load on snap-fit joints during opening and closing, so you can design for reliability, while 2K & Insert validates the fit and flexibility of multi-material components—including rubber-like materials—before tooling is finalized.
