SOLIDWORKS Plastics

Design Plastic Parts and Molds with Confidence

Accurate Mold Flow Simulation

Predict material flow and injection points to avoid manufacturing defects like warping and sink marks.

Integrated Design Environment

Simulate plastic part performance directly within the SOLIDWORKS interface.

Reduce Prototyping Costs

Identify potential design issues early to save time and resources.

Optimize Manufacturing Processes

Improve part quality and production efficiency by simulating the entire molding process.

Key Features That Set SOLIDWORKS Plastics Apart

Mold Flow Simulation: Analyze plastic injection behavior to improve part and mold designs.

Injection Molding Optimization: Optimize gate locations, runner systems, and cooling channels.

Integrated Analysis Tools: Simulate plastic performance directly within SOLIDWORKS for a seamless workflow.

Comprehensive Reporting: Generate detailed reports for stakeholders to validate and share results.

Why Choose SOLIDWORKS Plastics?

Ensure the quality and manufacturability of your plastic parts with accurate simulations. Save time and costs by identifying issues early, optimizing mold designs, and streamlining production—all within the familiar SOLIDWORKS interface.

Struggling with manufacturing defects in plastic parts?

Use mold flow analysis to identify and correct potential issues before production.

Difficulty optimizing mold design?

Simulate the injection molding process to refine designs and improve manufacturability.

High costs due to excessive prototyping?

Validate designs virtually to reduce reliance on physical prototypes.

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.
