In plastic injection molding, it's a good idea to test different design ideas on the computer before making the parts and molds. In the past, many practitioners would simulate variant after variant, one by one, to predict issues and eventually converge on an okay solution. This trial-and-error way of doing simulation is quickly becoming obsolete. There is a better way.
In recent years, more and more companies have discovered how to use parallel computing to explore more solutions at once. This unlocks real-time cause-and-effect analysis, instantly telling you how changes to your design (for example, wall thicknesses or injection parameters) will affect the quality (warpage, filling issues and so on).
This new gold-standard way of working is called rapid variant analysis. It has become possible due to advances in computing power and usability enhancements that make it possible to harness this power to tackle warpage, filling issues, cycle time and so on. In this talk, Simcon will show how several leading companies have upgraded to this new way of working in recent years.
