About 3D Shapes

3D Shapes provides analysis for part design and manufacturing using several injection molding processes. Combining years of experience with advanced software tools, our analyses predict the success of your parts and processes, and they provide definitive solutions for correcting problems.

Working with product designers, tool makers and molders, 3D Shapes' services help companies understand the challenges with the product's design—using the actual material, tool design and molding parameters. When used early in the process, our clients avoid costly delays and design revisions. When used after problems surface, simulation and analysis will pinpoint the cause and diagnose the solutions—getting customers back on track with minimal expense and effort.

Moldflow Analysis

Valve Gate Sequencing

Using the most advanced software available, MPI (Moldflow Plastics Insight) from Moldflow Corporation, 3D Shapes will simulate every aspect of the design and process. When less rigorous analysis is required, 3D Shapes offers services with MPA (Moldflow Plastics Adviser).

Once our customers experience the huge return on investment, some opt to purchase Moldflow for their internal needs. To continue our service to these companies, 3D Shapes is now an authorized reseller of MPA Moldflow Plastics Adviser.

Molding Processes

3D Shapes not only provides conventional Moldflow analysis, we are the only consultancy offering expertise with most major alternative molding and analysis applications.

  • One of the most experienced with gas-assist.
  • One of the first companies to offer co-injection analysis.
  • The first to offer MuCell simulation.
  • One of a select few offering overmolding and insert molding analysis.
  • One of the few to offer true 3-D element analysis.

Depending on the application, 3D Shapes will provide filling, packing, cooling and warpage analysis using midplane, Fusion and 3-D element techniques.

If you need simulation, analysis and prediction for any of the following processes, count on 3D Shapes.
