3D Shapes Moldflow Simulation and CAD Services

Imagine the time and money saved as design and manufacturing problems are solved early on. Using best-in-class solutions from Autodesk, 3D Shapes provides advanced simulation for straight injection molding and related processes. Combining years of experience with superior tools, our analysis assure the success of your project.

From your earliest product concepts through final production tooling, 3D Shapes' simulation services keep your projects on track.

Moldflow Analysis Services

Filling of Gas-Assist Part

With Moldflow analysis, you will gain valuable insights into the dynamics of filling, cooling, packing and warpage. You will actually look inside the part and mold evaluating vital parameters before investing time and money in tooling. Understanding what happens during the entire cycle as the mold fills, packs and cools provides an opportunity to modify both the part and tool design. You will not simply be seeing symptoms of problems, you will actually be able to diagnose the causes.

Rework, repair and scrap can be a thing of the past. Imagine sampling your first part and having confidence that it will be right the first time.

For conventional injection molding or alternative processes such as gas-assist, co-injection, MuCell®, overmolding and insert molding, 3D Shapes has the experience and skills to accurately predict the future and increase your profits.

We can also analyze thermosets and reactive processes such as RIM, RTM and microchip encapsulation.

Input from Conceptual Design to First Article

We have all seen it, the infamous graph showing how correcting problems early saves big money. We have designed a program to help you from early concepts through 1st article. We do this by offering you fast, inexpensive early analysis followed by more in-depth analysis if required.

Does Your Company Use AMA or AMI?

We have complete licenses for all AMA and AMI applications. If you have an advanced application and would like to hand off your analysis, it will be seemless. Using AMA? We'll take your analysis files and carry out more detailed analysis. For example, do you have AMA filling and would like warpage or you have AMA and need the more advanced results available in AMI? It will be like owning additional capability

Unsure How to Design for Alternative Processes?

We'll use or design experience and process knowledge to design parts for alternative processes. Want to do gas-assist but don't know how? Hand off your design and we will refine it for the process as well as help you source vendors. The same possibilities exist for MuCell or coinjection applications.

CAD Services

Take advantage of our experience with plastic part and product design going back to 1981. Often, your project will benefit from our plastic and structural analysis knowledge making sure that it not only looks good but is manufacturable. We use Solidworks design solutions.
