Pro/ENGINEER : Production : Plastic Advisor
Avoid the voids with mold-filling analysis
Give your engineers the power to create perfect parts the first time, every time. By simulating the plastic-filling process for injection-molded parts, Pro/ENGINEER Plastics Advisor enables engineers to identify potential mold-filling problems, such as short shots, air traps, and weld lines, without having to rely on trial-and-error.
By simply selecting a material type and proposed injection locations, Pro/ENGINEER Plastics Advisor provides an on-screen animation of the plastic fill process. Engineers can see temperature and pressure gradients, sink mark locations, heat concentrations and guidance on the overall manufacturability of the design.
