Validation and Optimization of Plastic Parts
Problem Facing Plastic Manufacturer:
- Design accuracy decisions before building multiple costly prototypes.
- Time from concept to market, time is critical factor in the success or failure of a product.
- Part defects discovered in manufacturing results in production delay.
How can we help:
R.C.K. Tech provides Digital prototyping and injection molding simulation services. Providing in-depth validation and optimization of plastic parts and associated injection molds, we will help you study the injection molding processes in use today. Plastic injection molding is used automotive, consumer electronics, medical, packaging industries, we well help you reduce the need for costly mold rework and physical prototypes, minimize delays associated with removing molds from production, and get your innovative products to market faster.
Plastic Flow Simulation
Simulating the filling and packing phases of the injection molding process, to better predict the flow behavior of melted plastics and achieve higher quality manufacturing. Now we can optimize gate locations, balance runner systems, evaluate processing conditions, and predict and correct part defects. Mold makers can simulate the effects of non-uniform mold temperatures, determine optimized valve-gate timing sequences, and compare flow through hot versus cold runner systems.
Early Optimization
R.C.K. Tech will guide designers, mold makers, and engineers through simulation setup and results interpretation to show how changes to wall thickness, gate location, material, geometry, mold designs, and processing conditions affect manufacturability. Geometry
support ranging from thin-walled parts to thick and solid applications helps to experiment with “what-if” scenarios before finalizing a design. This ability to evaluate different scenarios throughout the entire product development cycle results in higher quality products. We will help “get it right the first time,” to avoid the cost and time delays that frequently occur during the manufacturing phase.
Extensive Plastics Database
We use state of the art software with the largest material databases of its kind. With access to over 8,000 grades of commercial plastics with up-to-date and accurate material data, manufacturers can more easily evaluate various material candidates and have greater confidence in the simulation results, better predicting molded part properties that could affect performance.
In-Depth Simulation
In-depth simulation capabilities will help you tackle even the most difficult manufacturing problems. Providing a high degree of confidence in simulation results and support for even the most complex geometry, we will help you engineers predict and avoid potential manufacturing defects before mold tooling is created, minimizing costly overruns and production delays and accelerating time to market.
