Easy-to-use and accurate simulation analysis for SOLIDWORKS Plastics parts and injection molds.

Simulate how melted plastic flows during the injection molding process to predict manufacturing-related defects so you can quickly evaluate part manufacturability while you design.
Eliminate costly rework and physical prototyping to improve part quality and decrease your time to market by validating your mold designs before production.
Quickly create and analyze single-cavity, multi-cavity, and family mold layouts, including sprues, runners, and gates, to deliver high-quality tooling more efficiently and affordably than through traditional means.
Determine maximum injection pressure requirements and machine size, balance runner systems, and estimate cycle time, clamp tonnage, and shot size to optimize the feed system.

SOLIDWORKS Plastics

Standard

Ensure parts are manufacturable during the design process. Easy to learn and use, the standard package is fully embedded within SOLIDWORKS CAD so you can analyze and modify part designs at the same time you optimize for form, fit, and function.
