Injection Simulation - Rheological Research

Using high-performance plastics-engineering software packages (Moldflow 3D, SigmaSoft, Ansys, Modfrontier, etc.), combined with the expertise and knowledge of PEP's teams is enabling us to:

• Define thermal control of tooling
• Predict injection results
• Optimize injection parameters
• Improve component quality

This expertise is structured around four phases:

• Thermal:
  - Positioning of water circuits
  - Cycling
  - Optimizing cycle times
  - Thermal cycling
  - Head loss

• Filling:
  - Positioning and gauging of injection points
  - Shear rate
  - Fill rate

• Compacting:
  - Defining and optimizing compacting times and pressure

• Déformation:
  - Optimizing deformation
  - Fibre alignment
  - Internal constraints
  - Shrinkage and distortion
