Injection molding is the process used to manufacture 80 percent of the plastic parts you encounter every day. If the process is that pervasive, it should have been perfected at this point, right? Perhaps in another universe \u2013 unfortunately, injection molding\u00a0involves\u00a0a complex mix of time, temperature, and pressure variables, making it difficult to determine whether or not your mold will work properly the first time. When it works; great \u2013 you beat the house! When it doesn\u2019t, you\u2019re looking at potentially tossing aside hundreds of thousands of dollars, and you suddenly remember that the house always wins.<\/p>\n
In this video SOLIDWORKS Director of Product Portfolio Management Peter Ruckinski explains why injection molding doesn\u2019t have to be a gamble. With SOLIDWORKS Plastics<\/a><\/strong>, you have an integrated tool that\u00a0enables you to\u00a0simulate your injection mold designs directly in SOLIDWORKS. This allows you to predict how a plastic will flow into a mold and optimize part and mold design to be certain your design will work the first time it enters an injection molding machine.<\/p>\n
