Andel utilise the Hexagon mouldflow analysis software system to simulate the moulding process with component design, material and tooling features.
Carrying out this analysis in the early stages of a project allows us to highlight any potential issues with the component design. The simulation indicates where aesthetic issues might occur such as weld lines, leading our experienced tool designers to try and eliminate these issues wherever possible.
The software is configurable to use the material specification of the component so that warpage predictions can be made. As well as carrying out Thermal analysis giving our experts the opportunity to design the optimum cooling layout within the tool.
We have found this analysis software invaluable when designing tooling and gating features, as it allows as many unwanted variables as possible to be defined prior to design and manufacture. Reducing possible expensive modifications to tooling after initial trials.
