Designing and manufacturing injection molded plastic parts is challenging. Critical design issues include material selection, wall thickness, shrinkage, warpage, and more.
Testing the strength of plastic parts during the design process is critical because it enables the mitigation of risks. With simulation, you can enable component testing under a variety of conditions in a virtual environment before manufacturing. This approach prevents potential manufacturing errors, saves time and costs associated with physical testing, and fosters a more iterative design process.
You can predict when parts might break, wear out, or require maintenance with 3DEXPERIENCE Works Simulation. Simulation can also help you improve product reliability and meet regulatory standards.
