Sigmasoft, maker of molding processing analysis software for thermoplastics, thermosets, elastomers and silicones, and MIM and CIM, has awarded its first "Industry Expert" award to Torsten Kruse, ...

For moldmakers who wish they could simulate the molding process without having to build a prototype mold first, Sigmasoft software, designed for 3D injection molding process simulation, may be the ...

Conventional simulations performed prior to producing injection-molded components are based on the assumption that mold temperature remains fixed and constant over time. This method, however, ignores ...

How much of a help can software be in injection molding? Here is what a few software users have to say: "Traditionally, moldmaking is an inexact science - a black art," says Felim McNeela, managing ...

Autodesk has sponsored this post. Transient cooling of injection molds is complex. Advanced simulation makes it possible to resolve complex systems like this. (Image courtesy of Autodesk.) Injection ...

Recently [Stefan] of CNC Kitchen took a gander at using his gaggle of 3D printers to try injection molding (IM). Although the IM process generally requires metal molds and specialized machinery, 3D ...

SolidCam gives SCP Plastics machinists up-to-the-minute updates on design changes. When Bud Hanna purchased SCP Plastics (www.scpplastics.com), he surmised that the injection-molding shop had not ...
