Autodesk Moldflow Insight – Advanced Injection Molding Simulation for Optimizing Plastic Processes
Autodesk Moldflow Insight is the reference software for advanced analysis of injection molding processes for plastic. Designed for engineers, technicians and mold designers, this tool allows you to simulate and optimize with extreme precision the production of plastic components, reducing time and costs related to physical tests and increasing the reliability of the final product.
Moldflow Insight allows you to anticipate defects, optimize mold design and validate the behavior of materials during processing, improving the overall efficiency of industrial production.
Main features of Autodesk Moldflow Insight
- Complete simulation of the molding process: including filling, compression, cooling, compaction, deformation and shrinkage of the piece.
- Support for thermoplastic, thermosetting and composite materials: with a vast updated database of industrial materials, validated by certified suppliers.
- Analysis of molding defects: prediction of common problems such as air traps, weld lines, warpage, sink marks and unfilled cavities, with interactive visualization tools 🔍.
- Optimization of the feeding system: evaluation of the optimal position of the injection channels, sizing of nozzles, runners and gates, and design of integrated cooling systems.
- Multi-cavity analysis and balancing: simulation of multi-imprint molds to ensure a balanced and consistent filling in each cavity.
- Deformation evaluation (warpage): precise estimate of post-cooling distortions, with suggestions for geometric compensation.
- Advanced simulations: overmolding, insert molding, bi-material, co-injection, gas-assisted injection molding, powder injection molding.
- Integration with CAD and PLM: direct compatibility with files from Autodesk Inventor, Fusion 360, SolidWorks, CATIA, Siemens NX, PTC Creo and other 3D CAD software ✨.
- Thermal and cooling analysis: complete modeling of cooling circuits, conductive materials and thermal dissipation inside the mold.
