Injection Molding Analysis
Toray uses 3D TIMON™, an injection molding CAE tool that continuously evolves based on our knowledge and experience, to analyze the inside of injection molds.
This enables us to evaluate filling patterns, pressure, temperature, orientation, and warpage inside molds, alongside gate locations and overall shape, to provide better molding and mass production solutions.
3D TIMON™ is a registered trademark of Toray Engineering D Solutions Co., Ltd.
Ⅰ. Flow Analysis
Flow AnalysisFlow analysis is used to calculate and visualize the behavior of resin inside an injection mold.
This helps us determine molding ability through information such as flow patterns, weld position, molding pressure and temperature, so we can identify any defects and propose improvements.
Ⅱ. Warpage Analysis
Warpage AnalysisWarpage analysis calculates the deformation that happens after injection molding when the workpiece is removed from the mold and cools to room temperature.
This deformation is caused by orientation, pressure, temperature, and shape.
Through warpage analysis, we can predict the amount of warpage that will happen, identify the cause, and suggest ways to reduce it.
Ⅲ. Insert Molding Analysis
Insert Molding AnalysisParts for electrical circuits and sensors can have inserts that make it hard to understand factors affecting moldability and warpage.
Insert molding analysis helps us understand how resin behavior is affected by inserts so we can improve moldability and reduce warpage.
Ⅳ. Molding Optimization Analysis
Molding Optimization AnalysisIn injection molding, the position and shape of gates affects moldability and warpage.
Injection molding often comes with various requests, such as reducing the molding pressure, not creating a weld in a specific location, or reducing the warpage.
Molding optimization analysis automatically searches for better gate positions and shapes, providing optimal recommendations.
