"Moldflow, an Important tool for Plastic Parts Simulation"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Moldflow?

1) we can review the Cad using Moldflow Advisor for DFM

2) We can update the Process Settings parameters for DOE

3) Moldflow Insight 2021 release gives more details insight on Sink Marks for aesthetic looks with the actual Parts

4) Capturation of more complicated features using various meshing techniques

5) Gate Design Flexibility

6) Warpage results are also closed to reality if proper material & cooling channels assigned. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Moldflow?

1) Volumetric Shrinkage results could be more enhanced as it is not much flexible & closed to reality in my opinion

2) How to decide the correct Injection time using Molding Window need to be discussed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Moldflow solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problems which i m solving are mostly homeappliances parts of Refrigerator & Dishwashers

Modflow helps in predict

1)analysis of filling pattern, which I observed in Drawer & Cover body of a refrigerator by predicting the correct gate location

2) the Part thickness used by the designer should be used or not in future analysis

3) We have given the suggestion in tooling for the drawer parts (in one Snap) as it is failing in Warpage Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My experience with Moldflow as a Mechanical Design Engineer"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Moldflow?

User interface, how the software's predictability helps understand potential problems and to address them beforehand, clear cut presentation-style imagery. The accuracy of the software helps us re-assess and make decisions prior to tool modifications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Moldflow?

Though I am still learning, I think the software could be more intuitive to first-timers in helping point out most sought after mold-flow parameters (sinks, voids, peak temperatures etc) as well as provide short footnotes/tips as to how they can be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Moldflow solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Moldflow to design complex parts (made through injection molding) for the ergonomic devices industry on a regular basis. Even if we don't use it directly, we request Moldflow analysis from suppliers and analyze it for improvements. A major benefit as mentioned above is the predictability/accuracy of the software to show potential pitfalls so that we can address it before moving forward with tooling changes.

5/5

What do you like best about Moldflow?

The ability to visualize the flow of material inside the the mold. Using colors to indicate the more concentrated areas are very useful during the finite element analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Moldflow?

No dislikes. It is a very good software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Moldflow:

Try it. It has everything you need for your molding manufacturing purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Moldflow solving and how is that benefiting you?

Finding what areas are best for material injection. With moldflow I was able to clearly identify the best molding process for plastic components. Was able to deliver detailed reports on the entire process. Even easily created alternate option to the same process describing the pros and cons of each. The ability to visualize the air pockets generated at. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Moldflow Helps a lot for complex design."

5/5

What do you like best about Moldflow?

The Moldflow interface, which is most friendly with other modeling software for data exchange. Result interpretations that can be easily understood by all involved design and manufacturing teams with respective projects. Warpage determination for radial as well as X, Y, Z direction more likely close with actual one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Moldflow?

Mid plane meshing features need to be improved. Assembly handling options are to be added like mask & unmask for particular component. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Review of mould flow on basic conditions and fundamental functions of product"

3/5

What do you like best about Moldflow?

Confidence to manufacture any type of critical mould and most probably we can solve a lot of upcoming defects in the design stage, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Moldflow?

Additional cost for tooling and some easy or known products or like products we can manufacture tool directly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Moldflow solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps me to manufacture defect-free products most probably, and if we want, we can use some different ways to feed plastic into the tool. And also it gives perfect requirements relating to tool size, machine size, temperature, strength of the product, and possible defects and how to eliminate them.

What do you dislike about Moldflow?

The "manual" configuration of the cooling systems. Its very difficult to import the real cooling channels Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Moldflow:

It's better to simplify the 3D part in order to accelerate the calculation. You will need information about the process (machine and other parameters) to get better feasible results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Moldflow solving and how is that benefiting you?

It avoids us to see injection problems before we produce the mold Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
