"The boundary layer and surface layer is where the volatility is, revealing shear, how fast the material cools, shrinkage and other phenomenon," says Richard Carobus, president of EPS FloTek, Naperville, Ill., which provides sales support for Moldex3D in the U.S. It can improve the quality, structure and appearance of a part by validating and optimizing part and mold design. Moldex3D predicts more than 85 percent of common manufacturing problems, such as short shot, flow imbalance, air trap or sink marks. The new program automates common mesh-building steps when creating a geometry that features a boundary layer and a surface. The new BLM program generates a higher-quality mesh of the mold in drastically less time. Moldex3D R14.0 features its Pro Solid Boundary Layer Mesh (BLM). Ltd., Zhubei City, Taiwan, upgraded its Moldex3D simulation software with new programming. In many cases, the packages have improved the way simulations present the mesh of the mold, which is a representation of the mold's geometry and part shape. Suppliers of simulation software for injection molding say they have improved their products to provide simpler, faster operation for higher-quality simulations.
