Article: Predicting metal molding success.(Honeywell Inc. injection molding process simulation)(Brief Article)

MORRISTOWN, NJ--Anyone who designs an injection molded part has to grapple with two great unknowns: Will the mold fill? And if it does, what's the best way to fill it? Enter mold-filling simulation software, which predicts a part's molding prospects from its CAD model. While off-the-shelf analysis software has traditionally targeted plastic parts, engineers at Honeywell Corp. have now applied the same simulation methods to metal injection molding (MIM).

To simulate the molding behavior of Honeywell's PowderFlo MIM materials, the company's simulation experts use MPI/3D from Moldflow Corp. (Wayland, MA). The software has been doing a great job in predicting how a ...
