Simplifying moulding of high-stress parts

The Cadmould Flex simulation ecosystem solves complex challenges for makers of tough industrial parts.
Robotic arms seamlessly transfer battery packs from the assembly line to the final production stage.

Where high demands meet precise solutions

Gears, housings, and multi-component parts place high stress on moulds - and on injection moulders.

High stress on moulds, decreased mould lifetimes

The production of parts like plastic gears, housings, and mechanical components can cause significant mould wear. Frustratingly, this wear often starts with avoidable pressure conditions like pressure peaks or uneven filling.

Trial and error equals time and money

Mould designs for complex parts often require multiple iterations. Without effective simulation, these iterations are based on laborious trial-and-error - and every one costs time and money.

Not all machines are created equal

Each injection machine has its own interface and its own limits. If your process is incompatible with a machine’s specific limits - like clamp force and injection pressure - significant setup adjustments and delays can be the result.

Multi-component systems, multiplied complexity

Toolmaking for multi-component systems is challenging. Insert moulding and multi-shot processes require precise coordination to produce stable, reproducible results.

From simulation to calibration: mastering industrial moulding

SIMCON supports industrial part manufacturing by enabling you to anticipate issues and make adjustments early. From simulating multi-component moulding to automating machine calibration, Cadmould Flex and its AI assistant, Varimos AI, help you optimize processes, reduce mould wear, and save resources.

Protect your mould. Preserve your performance.

Process optimization for injection moulding in industrial applications is essential to prevent wear. By simulating influencing factors like local filling pressures and clamp force progression, Cadmould Flex helps you optimize for improved demoulding and longer mould life.

Validate early. Launch with confidence.

At SIMCON, we know that every iteration has a cost. Use Cadmould simulation features Fill and Warp in conjunction with Varimos AI, the Cadmould Flex AI assistant, to validate part, mould, and process design virtually—long before you commit to tooling.

Know the limits. Run it right.

Cadmould Flex supports precise injection machine calibration by enabling you to define machine-specific limits and check compatibility with your process. Better yet, the AI assistant Varimos AI leverages machine learning based on simulation data to automatically tune the process to your machine’s capabilities.

Mastering multi-component moulding

Cadmould Flex simulates key factors like filling behaviour, interface temperatures, and the impact of gate placement on insert deformation. The resulting insights allow process and tool design to be optimized early - for consistent results with minimal tryouts.
