Moldex3D
Full 3D simulation of the injection molding process (so-called mold flow) using Moldex3D – the highest-quality software available on the market
- Verification of part design manufacturability
- Optimizes the location, dimensions, and types
- Design and fine-tuning of the complete cooling system
- Evaluation of the influence of mold material and components (e.g., inserts made from special alloys, heat pipes, baffles, etc.)
- Optimization of process parameters
- Quality verification (audit) of an existing mold/part
We offer simulations of:
- Conventional injection molding of thermoplastics and thermosets
- Multi-component injection molding (2K, 3K, insert overmolding, etc.)
- Cascade injection molding
- Conformal cooling
- Foaming processes
- Gas-assisted injection molding

Laboratory Analyses
We offer not only high-quality and fast (screening) laboratory analyses, but most importantly, optimal solutions to problems.
- Nonconforming product appearance (differences in gloss, spots, bubbles, dark specks, burn marks, etc.)
- Nonconforming mechanical properties of the product or material (cracking, low strength, weight variation, etc.)
- Raw material quality (quality of virgin materials, regranulates, filler and additive content, etc.)
- Process quality (material or additive degradation, etc.)
- Raw material identification (determination of material type, fillers, etc.)
We offer the following services:
- Density determination
- Microscopy under normal and polarized light
- Preparation of microtome sections
- Metallographic polishing
- Hardness testing (Shore A, Shore D)
- Ash content determination
- Moisture measurement
- Chemical resistance testing
- Glass fiber length measurement
- FTIR – Infrared Spectroscopy
- DSC – Differential Scanning Calorimetry
- TGA – Thermogravimetric Analysis
- MFR, MVR – Rheological properties
