Sigmasoft Virtual Molding Sigma’s virtual molding simulation software can be used to evaluate and optimize molds and the molding process. Its features include functions for addressing warpage and identifying the best locations for gates. The software can accurately simulate curing, process times and inserts.
What’s new? New features for elastomer processing, with the release of Version 6.1.1. New functions allow users to analyze the mold’s thermal behavior. The software can help users determine the optimal position, number and power of heating cartridges, as well as the position of temperature sensors; optimize the heating time of cold spots; and plan insulation between the cold runner and hot mold.
Benefits Increased efficiency, productivity and part quality. The simulation software delivers swift, efficient and realistic results. With the simulations, mold makers can see how their designs will work, one right after another — all before cutting steel.
