Embedded Platform for Simulation-Driven Design of Plastic Parts in PTC Creo Most of the manufacturing defects in injection molding could be resolved more efficiently at early design stage. However, due to the unpredictable behavior of molten plastic, common defects, such as weld lines, short shots, sink marks, voids, and warpage, are often discovered at later stages of part design. Some may even try to correct these defects with trial-and-error method after the mold is already built, which is not only time-consuming but the outcome is also humongous. It is obvious, design changes in the early stages cost less and lead to greater improvements on manufacturability. PTC Creo Mold Analysis is fully-embedded in PTC Creo environment to provide a fluent workflow during the part design optimization through efficient design-simulation iterations. “Moldex3D eDesignSYNC for PTC Creo” provides PTC Creo users a fully-embedded and extended environment to further evaluate the detailed runner and cooling system design of the entire mold. The simulation capability also support
