Cool

Moldex3D/Shell-Cool is an efficient simulation tool to analyze the mold cooling process for thin-walled part. It helps users to understand the efficiency of mold cooling system, including cooling circuits, inserts, mold base, heating rod, etc.

Moldex3D/Solid-Cool is also a useful trouble-shooting tool to investigate possible cooling system defects, such as unbalanced cooling circuit design, local hot spots, prolonged cooling time, etc. It is a powerful tool to help users optimize cooling system design and reduce cycle time.
