Boost Your Injection Molding Productivity with SOLIDWORKS
If you design or manufacture plastic parts, the tools to catch problems before you cut a mold are probably already sitting in your SOLIDWORKS license. Stephen Zalys, Simulation Product Manager at CADimensions, walks through SOLIDWORKS Plastics, Mold Tools, and CAM, and shows how each one saves time and money before a single chip of steel comes off the block.

Save Time and Money Using Tools You Already Own.
Most injection molding cost overruns trace back to problems that could have been caught in CAD. Stephen covers the three SOLIDWORKS tools that catch them early.
Fix It Before You Cut a Mold
Every change made after tooling is cut costs exponentially more than the same change made in CAD. This section covers where injection molding projects actually go wrong and which decisions carry the highest cost if you get them wrong late.
SOLIDWORKS Plastics
Simulate the fill before the mold exists. Identify short shots, weld lines, air traps, sink marks, and warpage while the geometry is still easy to change. See how gate placement and wall thickness decisions play out before they are locked into steel.
SOLIDWORKS Mold Tools
Build the mold directly from your part model. Draft analysis, parting lines, parting surfaces, shut-off surfaces, and core and cavity creation, all inside the CAD environment your team already works in every day.
SOLIDWORKS CAM
Take the tooling from model to toolpath without leaving SOLIDWORKS. Rules-based machining applies your shop standards automatically, and because it is fully associative, a design change updates the toolpath instead of forcing you to start over.
