Reduce Mold Cycle Times with Autodesk® Moldflow®

Reducing cycle time can have a significant impact on the profitability of a project and lower the piece part cost, however, there is a trade off between cycle time reduction and increased mold costs. Moldflow® allows you to study different methods of mold cooling, mold design, and part quality to achieve an optimal mold design and injection molding process. Specific examples will be presented on the topics of cycle time reduction, part design, mold materials/inserts, Design of Experiments (DOE), multiple cycle temperature stabilization, rapid heating and cooling, conformal cooling and hot runner temperature cycle to cycle variation.
