Healthcare & Medical
Optimizing medical injection moulding with simulation
Cadmould Flex empowers healthcare & medical manufacturers to get precision parts right, first time.
Precision moulding for medical excellence
From implants to thin-wall catheters, healthcare presents demanding use cases for plastic manufacturers.
The multi-cavity balancing act
Injection moulding for medical devices must meet the highest standards of quality and precision. This means ensuring multi-cavity melt flow balance through uniform filling and pressure distribution in moulds for syringes, IV components and inhalers.
Tiny parts, tight tolerances, and compliance
Small parts for catheters, implants, and surgical tools must meet tight tolerances and defect-free standards to function correctly. This demands extreme micro-moulding precision.
The multi-component conundrum
2K moulding with certified medical-grade materials is challenging—especially in hard-soft combinations like seals and flexible elements. Ensuring material compatibility and avoiding insert deformation is vital for meeting medical-grade requirements.
Hot spots, inconsistent parts
When runner systems aren’t optimized, viscous heating effects can occur. The resulting imbalance in flow and cooling leads to inconsistent parts and inefficient production.
Moulding for compliance
To achieve FDA and ISO compliance and keep patients safe, manufacturers must consistently produce zero-defect parts that function as they’re intended, every time.
Exceeding standards in medical moulding
The Cadmould Flex ecosystem of injection moulding simulation software empowers manufacturers to meet and exceed the exacting standards of healthcare applications. Working with the AI assistant Varimos AI, Cadmould Flex enables the cost-efficient production of complex, high-precision and multi-component medical parts.
One tool, many cavities, zero surprises
Consistent quality across cavities is non-negotiable. Varimos AI, the AI assistant for Cadmould Flex, efficiently optimizes your process to help you balance filling, pressure, and shrinkage behaviour throughout a mould. You keep every cavity in control.
Tiny parts, maximum control
Micro-moulding precision starts with controlling shrinkage and warpage. Warp, a Cadmould Flex feature, accurately predicts even the slightest deformations in micro-scale geometries, while Unwarp applies targeted compensation for first-time-right results.
Multi-material precision, made for MedTech
We know how challenging it is to mould with materials like PEEK, TPU, and silicone - which is why 2K & Insert lets you simulate filling, material interaction, thermal effects, and stresses to achieve reliable function from the first design.
Smarter runners. Better flow. Stable parts.
Cadmould Flex helps you optimize gating positions, runner geometry, and flow channels to minimize shear heating and ensure uniform filling and cooling. As a result, processes are more stable, cycles are accelerated, and parts are consistently high-quality.
Compliance built into every cycle
Regulatory adherence starts with validated processes. Varimos, the AI assistant for Cadmould Flex, provides detailed insights into process sensitivities and robustness to allow you to reduce variation and ensure audit-ready production, cycle after cycle.
