Moulding simulation

Through the SLA technology of DWS Therma DM500 and thanks to a resin developed specifically for industrial application, we can create moulds/inserts suitable for use on injection moulding machines.

Creating resin inserts makes it possible to:

• perform small production runs while minimising mould construction times
• use and test industrial polymers from the outset
• reduce product certification times according to the various standards (e.g. UL or CE)
• create shapes with complex geometries without affecting mould construction costs
• validate geometries and assemblies before making significant investment
• carry out all post-processing on the products with the industrial material already available.

Using the basic operating principle of injection moulding machines, the manual model allows us to simulate the plastic moulding process. This tool is used in our lab to check the mouldability of plastics and any colours we make with our liquid color pastes. Moulding simulation allows us to verify a number of key parameters related to the material and its behaviour with respect to the customer’s project. This therefore translates into savings in time and costs for the customer, which can then start mass producing plastic objects without any surprises in the final result.
