IPC optimizes the cooling channels of its injection molding tools virtually

CAE News |

IPG KuelkanaeleThe thermal design of a tool optimally starts during the design phase of the component in order to understand the influence of the cooling channels on the solidification and the final shape of the component. With SIGMASOFT® it is possible to try and compare different concepts. Thus, the use of more expensive cooling concepts, e.g. contour close cooling, can be evaluated before the tool is built.
