The Role of Material Data in the Simulation of Injection Molded Parts, by Hubert Lobo and Brian Croop, will be presented at at the first annual Injection Molding Technology Conference organized by the Injection Molding Division of the Society of Plastics Engineers.

ABSTRACT:
The modeling of material behavior for injection molded plastics is a vital step for good simulation results. We detail the types of material data needed by various injection-molding simulation programs, factors that can affect simulation quality including test techniques and process variables such as moisture content. The case of fiber filled plastics is covered along with the extension to structural analysis applications.

DatapointLabs is a Sapphire Sponsor of SPE IMTECH 2017, which takes place August 1-3 in Chicago, IL USA. Find us in Booth S5.
