"SOLIDWORKS Plastics simulation provides invaluable insights into crate design, predicting potential challenges such as warpage, filling issues, and material selection. By simulating the injection molding process, it will help to optimize the design parameters, minimizing the defects and ensuring the structural integrity, ultimately enhancing the overall performance and durability of plastic crates."

Additive Manufacturing Professionals: The photo below shows initial contact and three mechanical stages that are important technical procedures for the Advancement of Additive Manufacturing to achieve high-integrity material properties for components in consumer products and mechanical performance needs in industrial components and certification capabilities. Strengthening Mechanisms of Material post-processing compensates for the inadequacy of print quality per technology on the surface and internal by volume migration of the material atoms removing porosity/imperfection. Conventional post-processing or mass-finishing of conventionally manufactured components, is what achieves specific requirements in materials and their performance plus sets the standards in industrial applications, Applying new post-process procedures as listed below will achieve material performance needs per application and establish new manufacturing standards as implemented and documented. Implementing these new procedures in post-processing for Additive will achieve lean manufacturing, production capabilities, environmental, and user-friendly operations. If you are a company working on material development for specific applications in Additive, and understand the importance of these new procedures to achieve the needed mechanical performance leading to component certification and new standards please start the conversation. #thankyou #additivemanufacturing #postprocessing #massfinishing #reverseengineering #engineeringsolutions #materialscience #standards #certification #aerospace #medicalinstruments #autoindustry

Why A Dedicated System for Plastics Mold Development Is Indispensable When it comes to useful tools that can enhance teamwork efficiency, we usually think of the Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems. However, for the plastic part and mold designers, general-purpose PLM systems might not be satisfactory enough. The reason is that they cannot fully cooperate with the time-demanding yet complicated plastics mold development process, and it is usually too costly for small and medium-sized enterprises to adopt. https://lnkd.in/gyZGicT7 #Moldex3D #cae #injectionmold #plasticsengineering #plastics #plasticmold #precisionmold #plasticmold #mouldmaking #plasticinjectionmoulding #injectionmould #moldmanufacturing #moldmaker #moldex3dprofessional #plasticsindustry #partdesign #moldingdefects #molding #moldmaking #plasticsengineering #plasticinjectionmolding #injectionmolding #simulation #simulationsoftware

Fiber Length vs. Mechanical Properties The orientation and real fiber length are influenced significantly by the particular processing method and the variation of process parameters. The mechanical properties of real components are broadly scattered as a result of the process-specific plasticizing and flow processes of the melt, the resultant fiber length reduction, and the orientation of the fibers. The mechanical performance potential of long-fiber-reinforced plastics is directly connected to the relative fiber length of the reinforcing fibers used, as shown in below. Therefore, some factors influence mechanical properties; these include fiber length, fiber orientation, fiber content, fiber morphology, fiber chemistry, and the molding process. #Moldex3D #cae #injectionmold #plasticsengineering #plastics #plasticmold #precisionmold #plasticmold #mouldmaking #plasticinjectionmoulding #injectionmould #moldmanufacturing #moldmaker #moldex3dprofessional #plasticsindustry #partdesign #moldingdefects #molding #moldmaking #plasticsengineering #plasticinjectionmolding #injectionmolding #simulation #simulationsoftware

Using plastic parts to achieve lightweighting is an inevitable trend. Thus, to optimize the plastic injection molding process becomes a shared goal for both automotive and plastics industry. A CAE Engineer at Dr. Schneider used Moldex3D to improve their injection molding process and conduct the feasibility study of a newly designed part. In the end, they successfully reduced the warpage of a fuel filler part and eliminated air traps on the surface of an automotive interior part. 👉 Moldex3D Helps Dr. Schneider Elevate Automotive Interior Part Design to the Next Level: https://reurl.cc/D4Kqm5 👉 Moldex3D's Solutions for the Automotive Industry: https://reurl.cc/eLGMDj #Moldex3D #CAE #plastics #mold #molding #injection #injectionmolding #warpage #airtrap

Do you need a prototype to test form, fit AND function? Alpine Advanced Materials offers engineering and prototyping services that deliver injection-molded prototypes in just days using our Rapid Prototype Molding (RPM) process. Our innovative approach involves #3Dprinting a negative cavity with a dissolvable resin, producing a mold that can deliver fast, inexpensive and high-quality prototypes. In a recent webinar, Senior Mechanical Engineer Clifford Green explains how the RPM process is further accelerated by the ability to injection mold without some of the hindrances of traditional steel tools. Watch the full webinar here: https://lnkd.in/gjtXkG5D Let's bring your innovative ideas to life with our advanced #prototyping capabilities. Get in touch with us to discuss your project and see how we can help accelerate your development process. #injectionmolding #advancedmaterials
