3. Overmolding simulation

3.1 The benefits of overmolding simulation

To minimize manufacturing costs and lead times, production lines need to be optimized from start to finish.

Numerical simulation provides fast, reliable answers to the following questions:

• choice of materials :

  • selection of materials according to processing temperatures,

  • evaluation of withdrawals ;

• optimization of part and mold design :

  • mechanical bonding, if chemical bonding is insufficient or ineffective,

  • optimizing the design of both footprints,

  • optimization...
