Electronics & Semiconductors
Stronger components, fewer iterations
Cadmould Flex simulation insights equip suppliers to optimize processes with (much) less trial-and-error.
Mastering Thin Walls, PCBs, and Beyond
Parts from thin-walled connectors to PCBs present sophisticated challenges for injection moulders.
Mastering thin-wall moulding
Proper filling of thin-walled geometries is a familiar challenge among injection moulders, especially when working on thin-walled connectors. As well as preventing short shots, moulders must ensure that warpage does not prevent the pins fitting together as planned.
Tricky overmoulding of PCBs, sensors and IC chips
Encapsulating sensitive electronics is tricky: once the insert is inside the mold, you’re essentially moulding around it blind. Pressure and flow forces often move the inlay inside the mould, 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.
Poorly controlled cooling, poor-quality parts
Whether it’s parts that aren’t meant to get hot or parts sucking heat out of your melt, thermal management gets challenging once inserts are involved. LED components, power modules, and heat sinks can all be affected by poor heat and cooling control.
Optimizing process design for quality parts, first time
The Cadmould injection moulding simulation ecosystem recognizes and answers the unique challenges of moulding for electronics components. Sophisticated simulation of filling, 2K moulding and thermal behaviour enables the defect-free production of parts, from thin-walled enclosures to LED components.
Precision for when every pin counts
Thin-walled parts push the limits of dimensional accuracy—which is why Fill lets you validate flow behaviour and prevent short shots before a single gram of plastic is injected. Filling simulation data can be automatically shared with Warp, another Cadmould Flex 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.
Better gates, stronger parts
Weld lines can impact both the strength and appearance of components, particularly in electronic housings. Cadmould Flex provides an effective solution, enabling you to test and optimize gate locations early in the process, ensuring weld lines are positioned in non-critical areas.
Control the heat. Protect the 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 mould, empowering you to avoid hot spots and keep performance stable.
