SUMMARY:Moldex3D Webinar: Bridging the Gap Aligning Simulated and Real-World Pressure Data
DESCRIPTION:Date：Aug 20\, 2025\nTime： 2:00 PM EDT\n\nIn high-pressure applications like injection molding\, accurately predicting pressure loss across the entire system is critical for diagnosing and preventing molding issues. While many focus solely on maximum pressure values\, it’s the pressure trends and contours that offer the most insight into flow behavior\, imbalance\, and potential defects. \nThis webinar will explore how to interpret pressure distribution more effectively using Moldex3D\, helping you uncover root causes of issues such as short shots\, warpage\, or excessive clamp force requirements. Learn how to go beyond surface-level metrics and leverage full pressure analysis to make smarter design and process decisions—before you mold.\nWhat will attendees learn? \n\nHow to identify and eliminate common LSR/ silicone molding issues—such as air traps\, flashing\, short shots\, and uneven curing—through simulation.\nGain practical strategies to improve simulation accuracy through better material data\, boundary condition settings\, and interpretation of pressure contours and trends.
