MCM

Multi-component molding is one of the greatest methods to diversify the development of the plastic molded product fabrication. Moldex3D/Solid-MCM simulates the multiple components molding process, including insert molding, overmolding and multi-shot sequential molding.

Based on true 3D technology, explicit analysis capabilities of Moldex3D/Solid-MCM give you a powerful tool to accurately analyze the interaction behavior of different components and further optimize product design. Users can freely model any kind of metal or plastic inserts for full Flow, Pack, Cool and Warp analyses. Moldex3D/Solid-MCM helps you to predict the warpage due to CTE (coefficient of thermal expansion) mismatch of different materials, prolonged cooling time and unsymmetric shrinkage in two-color or overmolding processes...etc.
