3D Shapes' Analysis Services

3D Shapes analyses can be used for plastic part design, tool design and molding processes to help you avoid problems and remove time and cost from the process.

Moldflow analysis evaluates all aspects of filling, cooling, packing, and warpage. With this information, you will be able to fine-tune your parts, tools and processes to maximize part quality and minimize cost and cycle time.

Molding Processes

Injection molding is the most common method of producing plastic parts. 3D Shapes has applied simulation tools to injection molded parts since 1991. However, there are other options for injection molding and reactive materials - 3D Shapes has the tools and expertise to predict the results for each of the following molding processes.

• Conventional injection molding
• Gas-assist molding
• Co-injection molding (sandwich molding)
• MuCell (microcellular) molding
• Overmolding (two-shot)
• Insert molding
• Reactive processes

The Right Tools for the Job

3D Shapes has the right software applications for your project. We offer analysis using both Moldflow Plastics Insight (MPI) and Moldflow Plastics Advisers (MPA). For some, the simpler analysis capabilities of MPA will be the right choice. For more demanding applications, only the power and capabilities of MPI will do.

You don't need to be a Moldflow expert. 3D Shapes will recommend the best solution for your project goals. Unlike many others, 3D Shapes offers all three meshing options, midplane or Fusion and 3-D, and we have the experience to select the best method for your parts and processes.

3D Shapes' policy on outsourcing ensures that you get the very best service with every project.
