Moldflow Solutions Done Right: Consulting, Analysis, Training
Since 1988, we’ve provided complete Moldflow solutions to OEMs, product designers, mold builders, and injection molders. As an expert certified Moldflow analysis firm, we have analyzed thousands of projects from various markets.
Regardless of the complexity of your part design, we have the necessary experience to identify and solve the most challenging molding problems. Our commitment to excellence has rendered CAE a recognized leader in Moldflow analysis services.
Moldflow Consulting
Moldflow is most powerful when paired with experience. Our team provides in-depth analysis, consulting, and troubleshooting support to help you understand what’s happening inside the mold—and what to do about it.
Analysis Services
No matter the market, we understand the nuances that make each part unique. Our Moldflow analysis helps uncover hidden risks, optimize designs, and ensure your parts perform as intended in real-world conditions.
Learn Moldflow
Whether you’re new to Moldflow or looking to deepen your expertise, our training programs are tailored to your needs. We focus on practical knowledge, helping engineers and teams use Moldflow more effectively from day one.
From Simulation to Shop Floor Success
We work with you to help with part to print, identify warpage concerns, optimize cycle times, and improve the processing window. No matter your position, we will make sure you succeed with the right Moldflow solution.
Identify Warpage Concerns
With Moldflow, part designers can visualize how shrinkage and uneven cooling contribute to warpage. This insight allows for proactive design modifications, improving part integrity and fit. Early detection of deformation risks leads to fewer iterations and more confidence in achieving performance.
Faster Part to Print, Windage Analysis
We provide mold builders with critical data to optimize tool design before cutting steel. From predicting fill imbalances to assessing windage and venting efficiency, the simulation reduces rework, shortens lead times, and ensures molds are production-ready faster.
Reduce Scrap & Material Waste
By analyzing factors such as flow patterns, cooling rates, and potential defects like warpage or air traps, engineers can identify and correct issues early, avoiding costly trial-and-error on the shop floor.
This leads to fewer rejected parts, more efficient use of raw materials, and optimized cycle times.
Optimize Cycle Times
Gain visibility into factors affecting cycle time, such as cooling and packing phases. This allows for early optimization, minimizing delays and ensuring efficient production planning while maintaining part quality and meeting delivery targets.
Improve Processing Window
Evaluate how design and process variables interact, helping establish a wider and more forgiving processing window. This enables more robust tooling designs that can accommodate process fluctuations while maintaining consistent part quality and reducing sensitivity during production.
Optimize Process Parameters Before Production
Pre-define ideal molding conditions, minimizing adjustments during startup. These insights improve consistency, reduce scrap rates, and help to reach stable production cycles faster.
Where Moldflow Meets Real-World Results
Our blog is dedicated to educating plastics professionals on Moldflow analysis, best practices, industry advice, and case studies.
Plastics Technology: Taking Aim at Warpage With Windage
As a last-gasp attempt to salvage a design prone to warpage, CAE Services has developed a hybrid simulation/real-world methodology to ensure better outcomes for when windage is required. In marksmanship, the dictionary definition of Kentucky windage is “a rough but educated guess to account for factors like wind drift or a consistently misaligned sight.” In injection molding and moldmaking, it
The Hidden Flow Problem Lurking in Your Mold Cooling Circuit
When molders troubleshoot cooling issues, they tend to focus on channel layout, Reynolds numbers, turbulence targets, or temperature deltas. But there’s a missing piece that quietly undermines many well-designed systems: the effect of the water manifold. In fact, most Moldflow simulations don’t model the manifold at all—and in many cases, that’s perfectly acceptable. But it does require an experienced engineer
