Injection molding simulation – the way to produce precise parts! An essential factor for efficiency is precision in component production!In our everyday lives, we take the use of countless important items for granted – whether these be the housing of a high-quality smartphone, an acoustically optimized sound bar or the safety-relevant components of a car dashboard. Applying their know-how, product design engineers repeatedly develop innovations like these on their computers. And they naturally have to be brought to market in as profitable a manner as possible. But the route from the idea through to serial production can differ greatly in...
