Sophisticated simulation for high-speed production
Cadmould Flex enables reduced cycle times and enhanced part quality for parts from bottle caps to seals.
From caps to closures: precision at speed
IML, multi-shot parts and the need for speed: welcome to moulding for consumer goods and packaging.
Controlling 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 moulding & IML (in-mould labelling)
In multi-shot and IML applications, the interface makes the difference. Unfortunately for manufacturers, ensuring seamless bonding between materials and labels in cosmetic and beverage packaging is (much) easier said than done.
Moulding the future
A shift towards PCR (post-consumer recycled) materials and bioplastics brings fresh 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 elements like snap-fits and seals must work every time - including when soft materials come into play. Manufacturers must ensure that even tiny snap-in hooks are filled consistently and that hard-soft parts have an always- accurate fit.
From filling to function: mastering every moulding challenge
At SIMCON, we understand better than most the challenges involved in producing millions of parts at high speed and high quality. That’s why Cadmould Flex, our comprehensive simulation ecosystem, supports manufacturers with integrated analysis of filling, warpage, 2K moulding, and mechanical behaviour.
Predictable cycles. Scalable production.
Fill, a Cadmould Flex feature, detects mould imbalances, hot spots, and temperature-critical areas before the physical mould has even opened. These early insights are a key step towards optimizing cooling times without sacrificing quality.
Perfectly placed. Reliably bonded.
2K & Insert simulates temperature, shear and deformation throughout the multi-shot moulding and IML process, empowering you to ensure strong bonding, clean label placement, and consistent quality in even the most design-driven packaging.
More recycled. Still reliable.
The more sustainable your material, the more sensitive your process. Varimos AI, the AI assistant for the Cadmould Flex ecosystem, leverages machine learning to help you optimize your simulations and understand exactly how increasing recycled content affects flow, filling, and part performance. You are empowered to test blends virtually, adapt process parameters, and balance sustainability and quality with confidence.
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, allowing you to design for reliability, while 2K & Insert validates the fit and flexibility of multi-material components - including rubber-like materials - before tool design is finalized.
