Successful Innovations & Collaborations
Added Value by Integrating Multiphysics Simulation
Material Selection, Material Data Characterization.
Collaboration in the development of new resins
Creative Design and Injection Rules: Best practices to use. Dimension & number of injection points and recommended injection parameters.
New production technology to increase productivity (reduce cycle time and costs). Injection vs. blow molding (production of 4 parts instead of one per cycle).
Problem-solving: Breakage during fatigue, high injection pressure, air traps, weld lines, short shots, material degradation.
Active contribution to the development of Injection-Molded Diaphragm Boots (Innovation) – Multi-OEM, Suppliers, Molders. Multiple successes with a global presence.
Injection molding simulation (filling, weld lines, pressure, shear rate, etc.). Method to achieve zero defects and maximize part performance.
Optimization and Performance:
Weight reduction: 15%
Plastic material savings: 17%
Grease reduction: 50%
Compact and optimized system
Increased durability (lower temperatures and improved fatigue resistance).
Optimization of material performance during injection.
Use of multiphysics simulation and methods to ensure success (Injection simulation, CFD simulation: Thermal and Fluid, and design of experiments).
