Plastics
SOLIDWORKS Plastics enables you to define domain-based material definitions. You can also use the new Sketch-based baffle and bubblers, and you can now fully define your plastic injection studies, without the need to create a mesh, significantly reducing the amount of time to create, modify and share this information. In addition, you can now set up over-molding injection studies and leverage 100s of new materials that have been added to SOLIDWORKS Plastics.
Predict and avoid manufacturing defects in plastic part and injection molding designs, eliminating costly rework, improving part quality, and decreasing time to market
- Virtually assess the manufacturability and quality of injection molded part designs and tooling
- Leverage easy-to-use simulation to reduce development time and costs
- Evaluate effectiveness of mold colling system designs for the right technical insights at the right time
- Maintain associativity with SOLIDWORKS CAD data and workflows
