SigmaSoft Virtual Molding
Schaumburg, IL
www.sigmasoftvm.com
SIGMASOFT® Virtual Molding is a full process simulation software that helps you overcome the challenges associated in the development, mold design and production in injection molding.
With the exclusive use of Autonomous Optimization we are able to bring our users further than any other simulation software on the market today.
Simply put, it is Injection Molding Process Simulation Software…
But it is not that simple, and because of that, Virtual Molding is more than just simulation.
SIGMASOFT® Virtual Molding is the only tool that takes the complexity of injection molding seriously.
SIGMASOFT® Virtual Molding takes a unique, holistic approach to the simulation of the injection molding processes… that is why it is called virtual molding.
The key to SIGMASOFT® Virtual Molding is the real 3D simulation of flow, heat flux and warpage for injection molding including the complete mold while considering all variables and objectives at the same time. SIGMASOFT® Virtual Molding delivers sound information as the only acceptable basis for accurate and reliable decision making.
SIGMASOFT® Virtual Molding supports solutions for complex questions in injection molding ranging from the first design to production:
• Developers and designers distinguish possible production problems or critical behavior in the parts long before a real prototype exists. This frontloading shortens development times and minimizes risks.
• Tool makers are able to optimally design mold tempering, runner systems, hot or cold runners and ejector packages in the first attempt.
• Molders easily find ideal production parameters to realize the desired part quality and productivity.
SIGMASOFT® Virtual Molding considers critical factors such as quality, productivity, energy and material efficiency to achieve maximum reliability and maximum success.
