(Moldex3D, Hsinchu, Taiwan) has announced the release of Moldex3D 2022, the latest version of its molding analysis software series. Moldex3D is said to continuously reinforces the system constructure and improves analysis performance, aiming to deliver more accurate molding results for users. CoreTech also provides new services regarding smart design, smart management and smart learning that reportedly help corporate take the first step in the smart era, achieving seamless design, production integration and team efficiency.

Supporting user-customized simulation results and report production to facilitates team communication and establish analysis standardization is one highlight of Moldex3D 2022. For example, the platform has upgraded the measurement features to provide timely point and plane measurement for users to track core problems in molding results. Design of Experiment (DOE) analysis wizard can be used to identify key influencing factors and optimize product quality. DOE and Shell analysis are supported on the Linux platform, which can greatly reduce calculation cost, shorten the calculation time and speed up development, Moldex3D says. Moldex3D Studio also provides versatile API functions to help users build automated analysis, compare simulation results, optimize processes and realize intelligent integration.

To help users control the two most critical factors, machine and material properties, in the molding process, Moldex3D developed Machine Characterization Services to capture performance and responses from each molding machine, which are also integrated into CAE analysis to reflect real manufacturing conditions, presenting more accurate simulation results.

Regarding material support, Moldex3D has also established a material measurement center with ISO/IEC 17025 certification and decades of plastic data measurement technology and experiences to construct complete material digital twins, improving prediction accuracy on injection pressure, warpage and shrinkage.

Another feature, Moldex3D SYNC geometry optimization, supports Design of Experiment (DOE) and can perform geometrical analysis on critical dimensions, understanding the possible defects of molding. In addition, the platform has enhanced enhanced runner, gate and cooling wizards to strengthen design and provides more diverse and flexible layouts for different situations.

Improved mesh quality.

In terms of mesh, Moldex3D has optimized the quality and efficiency of mesh generation, enhances preprocessing, CAD import, mesh functions and geometry healing functions, enabling users to repair geometric defects more easily and improve model quality.

In IC packaging simulations, more powerful modeling capabilities for various processes provide a more complete IC Auto Mesh function, and enables the ability to to freely create advanced packaging such as CoWoS and InFO types.

Moldex3D iSLM also records the entire development process of design and mold trial. These data are uploaded to the cloud system, so multinational team members can access, share and reuse simulation data anytime, anywhere, accelerating R&D innovation, saving management costs and producing a more efficient teamwork.

To finish off the new features, Moldex3D has launched the MPE digital learning system (Moldex3D Plastics E-Learning), providing professional terminology in the plastic molding industry, knowledge of injection molding machines and real cases collected from decades of industrial experiences. There are also tests after each session for students to validate their learning results. The goal of this feature is to help people who are new in the industry to strengthen practical capabilities and enhance competitiveness more effectively.
