Injection Moulding Simulation Tools

SOLIDWORKS Plastics

SOLIDWORKS Plastics simulation software combines injection moulding simulation with advanced CAE analysis to give plastics designers the capability of predicting just how melted plastic flows during the injection moulding process.

Evaluate your products with SOLIDWORKS Plastics to predict and prevent manufacturing defects at the earliest stages of the design cycle, and gain insights to help improve the quality of your plastic parts and moulds.

Why use SOLIDWORKS Plastics?

Avoid Defects

Identify costly issues like sink marks, weld lines, and air traps before production to reduce rework.

Speed Up Development

Validate mold designs virtually, reducing the need for physical trials and speeding up time-to-market.

Optimise Part Design

Ensure uniform wall thickness and proper gate placement for better quality and performance.

Integrated with SOLIDWORKS

SOLIDWORKS Plastics is fully embedded making it easy to analyse and modify part designs at the same time to optimise form and function.

Easy to Learn

With an intuitive interface and guided workflows, making injection molding simulation simple even for non-experts.

Reports & Collaboration

Automated report generation tools facilitate quick sharing and interpretation of simulation results, allowing increased collaboration among development teams.
