Injection Molding Simulation
At Kruse Analysis, our mission is to assist companies in the injection molding industry, primarily by focusing our efforts on CAE molding simulations.
Performing mold filling analysis will not only ensure that a part will fill properly, but it will also allow your engineers to have a virtual vision and a smooth “art to part” development and manufacturing process. It is a tool that helps the engineer visualize how a plastic part is molded and performs.
Of course, the results and interpretations of an analysis are only as good as the overall knowledge of the analyst running your simulations. At Kruse Analysis, we pride ourselves on our many years of experience in part design, mold design, material chemistry, processing training, and actual hands-on molding.
Analysts not only need experience, but they also need state of the art CAE and CAD software, high tech hardware systems and innovative tools and methods to present your analysis results. At Kruse Analysis, we have them all –we are currently using Moldex3D as our main simulation software systems.
But that’s not all – our service to you does not end with a simple report. After our analysis, we provide real-time online simulation reviews, which can be recorded for future evaluation within your organization whenever needed. This allows for continued access to not only the results, but the in-depth evaluation, discussion, and recommendations from Kruse Analysis.
If you can design it, we can simulate it. From art-to-part, we are your trusted source for injection molding simulation services.
