Using Mold Flow Analysis to Improve Injection Molding Design

Designing a good injection-molded part is dependent on many factors. Proper flow of the resin into the mold is one of them. Our mold flow analysis is a proprietary software program that was created by Protolabs to digitally simulate flow of resin through your part geometry. The resulting data that emerges will essentially help you design a part that will mold better.

What is Mold Flow Analysis?

Mold flow analysis (MFA) software simulates the flow of plastic, which allows you to elevate part and mold design to create products of impeccable quality. Like other simulation software, MFA gives you a virtual sneak peek into how your material of choice will fill the mold’s cavities and offers a head’s up on potential problem spots. The benefit is obvious, right? Simulating the process digitally means you can make changes BEFORE A TOOL IS CUT. This one thing is a big cost savings, not to mention a time saver as well.

The science of mold flow analysis can be adapted to meet the needs of each client. For instance, you may want to have an analysis performed to ensure that the performance of your mold can be expected to fall within an acceptable range.
