SOLIDWORKS Plastics
SOLIDWORKS
Plastics.
Injection molding simulation software for evaluating plastic part manufacturability, flow behavior, and molding defects.
What is SOLIDWORKS Plastics?
Simulation solutions for validating strength, flow, thermal behavior, plastic manufacturability, and electromagnetic performance before committing to prototypes.
SOLIDWORKS® Plastics delivers easy-to-use simulation for analyzing plastic parts and injection molds. It simulates how melted plastic flows during the injection molding process to predict manufacturing-related defects so you can quickly evaluate part manufacturability while you design.
Use this solution to understand product performance earlier in the design cycle. Khodiyar Infotech helps engineering teams identify the right simulation tools, plan adoption, and build confidence through training and support.
