About This Webinar

Warpage is a notoriously challenging issue in plastic injection molding and trial and error is a horribly inefficient, frustrating and costly way to tackle it. In this webinar, you'll learn how to apply a new, much more elegant method that gets you better results with much less effort than you might think.

If you have a multi-core CPU (and who doesn't, nowadays), then you can harness that sweet parallel processing power to explore more solutions much faster than before and find significantly improved designs in days—not weeks.

In this webinar, you'll learn how to apply a new simulation method called rapid variant analysis. After setting up your initial part (and optionally also mold) design, you'll tell the system what things you can potentially modify, such as wall thickness in particular ribs, location of the injection gate, location of cooling channels, and injection temperatures and channels. The system will automatically translate this into a suitable set of simulations to explore what would happen if you changed these things. This way, you can set up a double-digit number of design options in less than 30 minutes.

You'll then see how you can use parallel processing to get same-day or next-day results for the complete set of simulation runs. Finally, Simcon will spend some time on how to get a custom artificial intelligence solution to do the leg work of helping you summarize results across all of these sims. The output is a simple cause-and-effect display that doesn't take a Ph.D. to interpret and that your colleagues and customers will intuitively understand. This makes for great discussions and faster decision making. They will also explore how to use this cause-and-effect model to quickly generate suggested solutions as a starting point for your discussions.

This may sound like a lot for one webinar, but not to worry! Simcon will deliver insights with inspiring time efficiency and without cramming.
