Moldex3D is a leading world-class Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) product for the plastics injection molding industry. With the most advanced analysis technology in its class, Moldex3D enables you to perform detailed simulations of a wide range of injection molding processes for many applications. Moldex3D lets you optimize product design and manufacturability, shorten time-to-market, and maximize your return on investment.

Leadership in True 3D CAE Technology

The key to Moldex3D's success is its exclusive 3D solver technology, based on solid hybrid meshing and the High-Performance Finite Volume Method (HPFVM). This enables you to analyze thick parts, those that have extreme thickness changes from thin to thick, those that are difficult to define a proper mid-plane model for, and those with very complicated part geometry. By considering complete physical equations, Moldex3D produces amazingly accurate results.

Complete True 3D Simulation Solutions

Moldex3D provides the most comprehensive True 3D simulation capabilities for plastics injection molding, such as solid melt flow, 3D runner effects, 3D mold temperature, fountain flow, inertia effects and viscoelasticity. These superior functions effectively help users to simulate plastic flow through cavities, optimize gate locations, prevent short shot and weld lines, evaluate cooling circuit designs, minimize cycle time, reduce warpage, predict optical birefringence, and simulate variotherm processes, to name a few.

Automatic 3D Mesh Generation Engine

Moldex3D is equipped with an automatic 3D mesh generation engine to help users to progress directly from solid CAD models to true 3D simulations, saving the typically massive work-hours dedicated to mesh preparation. Furthermore, the advanced functionalities allow users to efficiently import/patch/edit CAD models, lay out runner and cooling systems, and prepare meshes for various analyses.

Exclusive Boundary Layer Mesh (BLM) Technology

To capture the strong shear thinning and viscous heating effects in injection molding, a high resolution 3D mesh across a part’s thickness is crucial. Moldex3D’s proprietary Boundary Layer Mesh (BLM) technology makes it simple and straightforward to prepare high quality meshes for any complicated 3D geometry. BLM enhances the solver accuracy for viscous heating and pressure effects, thus improving warpage prediction significantly.

High Performance Parallel Computing

Moldex3D is the ONLY leading injection molding CAE solution to offer parallel computing support. By utilizing the strength of multi-core or multi-CPU machines, the time required for analysis is greatly shortened. The computing efficiency is enhanced by 50-80% on typical dual-core PCs, often times even much more. Moldex3D parallel computing lowers your cost and contributes to outstanding performance.
