SOLIDWORKS Plastics

For companies that design plastic parts or injection molds, SOLIDWORKS® Plastics helps users predict and avoid manufacturing defects during the earliest stages of part and mold design, eliminating costly mold rework, improving part quality, and decreasing time-to-market.

SOLIDWORKS Plastics offers Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) simulation tools that predict how melted plastic flows during the injection molding process – the manufacturing method used to produce more than 80% of all plastics products.

Users can design and analyse simple or complex mold cooling line layouts, optimise cooling system design to minimise cycle times and decrease manufacturing costs. And optimise part and mold design, material selection and processing parameters to reduce or eliminate molded part warpage.

“SOLIDWORKS has significantly reduced our re-work or scrap factor caused by inaccurate design.”
