Almost everywhere you look in today\u2019s world, you see consumer products made out of plastic. Even with so much plastic being used, most people do not realize what it takes to make this type of merchandise: expensive equipment with intricate parts. If you design plastic parts, you understand the thin line between a successful part and a six-figure paperweight. With so much on the line, how can you avoid production problems and unnecessarily high costs? Follow Ambix\u2019s example and choose the best design software for you.<\/p>\n

In 2002, Ambix, LLC established itself as a full-service product development and contract manufacturing company. Since then it has delivered start-to-finish solutions to a diverse range of clients. As demand for Ambix\u2019s expertise in plastics and moldmaking increased, the company recognized the need to invest in injection-mold-filling simulation software. In 2006 president, founder and owner Jeffrey D. Nicoll of Ambix chose SOLIDWORKS because \u201chaving our mold-filling simulation solution integrated inside our SOLIDWORKS design environment is extremely beneficial.\u201d<\/p>\n

With SOLIDWORKS software implemented, Ambix has increased injection-molding manufacturing throughput from a few thousand parts to more than 10 million components per year. Ambix has also achieved a first-shot mold success rate of 95 percent due to the analysis tools within the Plastics Professional software.<\/p>\n

By using SOLIDWORKS Plastics software, Ambix takes advantage of advanced design visualization tools to more effectively collaborate and communicate with customers. This helps resolve design for manufacturability issues while retaining or enhancing design aesthetics. According to Nicoll, \u201cSOLIDWORKS tools help us provide better services to our clients\u2026Plastics Professional is a natural extension of the way we work.\u201d<\/p>\n
