Stronger Components, Fewer Passes
Cadmould Flex simulation insights equip suppliers to optimize processes with a lot less trial-and-error.
Mastering Thin Walls, PCBs, and Beyond
Parts from thin-walled connectors to PCBs present sophisticated challenges for injection molders.
Mastering Thin-Wall Molding
Proper filling of thin-walled geometries is a familiar challenge among injection molders, especially when working on thin-walled connectors. As well as preventing short shots, molders must ensure that warpage does not prevent the pins fitting together as planned.
Challenging Overmolding of PCBs, Sensors, and IC Chips
Encapsulating sensitive electronics is tricky: once the insert is inside the mold, you’re essentially molding around it blind. Pressure and flow forces often move the inlay inside the mold, leaving unacceptable defects such as non-covered contacts.
Optimizing Gate Placement for Weld Line Position
Weld lines significantly impair the mechanical strength of connector housings and structural electronics. Optimizing the gate location to shift or eliminate weld lines is the natural solution—but doing this manually takes costly trial-and-error.
Inadequate Cooling, Low-Quality Parts
When you use inserts, thermal management gets tricky. It doesn’t matter if the parts aren’t supposed to get hot, or if they're pulling heat out of your melt. LED components, power modules, and heat sinks can all be affected by poor heating and cooling control.
Optimizing Process Design for Quality Parts, Right the First Time
The Cadmould Flex injection molding simulation ecosystem recognizes and answers the unique challenges of molding for electronics components. Sophisticated simulation of filling, 2K molding, and thermal behavior enables the defect-free production of parts, from thin-walled enclosures to LED components.
Accuracy When Every Pin Counts
Thin-walled parts push the limits of dimensional accuracy—which is why Fill lets you validate flow behavior and prevent short shots before a single gram of plastic is injected. Filling simulation data can be automatically shared with Warp, another Cadmould feature, to determine the resulting warpage.
Encapsulate With Confidence
2K & Insert helps you predict flow forces, insert movement, and deformation well before tooling is finalized. As a result, your components stay in place and are functionally reliable from the very first shot: void-free encapsulation without trial and error.
Improved Gates, Stronger Parts
Weld lines can hurt component strength and appearance, especially in electronics. Cadmould Flex tackles this by letting you test and optimize gate locations early. This ensures weld lines are placed where they won't impact performance or looks.
Control Heat. Protect Function.
Thermal challenges are all in a day’s work, especially where inserts or sensitive components are involved. Simulation in Cadmould Flex gives you a clear picture of heat transfer, cooling efficiency, and thermal interactions inside a mold, empowering you to avoid hot spots and keep performance stable.
