SOLIDWORKS Plastics Professional

SOLIDWORKS Plastics Professional is for Mechanical engineers tasked with the intricate design of injection molds that require tools that predict potential manufacturing issues and offer solutions that optimize mold-making. SOLIDWORKS® Plastics Professional stands out as advanced simulation software designed to meet these needs, offering a comprehensive suite of features tailored for mold design analysis.

Advanced Simulation for Mold Design

SOLIDWORKS Plastics Professional builds upon the foundation laid by SOLIDWORKS Plastics Standard, offering enhanced features aimed explicitly at mold design analysis. This includes quickly evaluating single, multi-cavity, and family mold layouts. The software facilitates the examination of sprues, runners, and gates, providing engineers with the data needed to estimate cycle times accurately and optimize the feed system design for efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Optimizing Feed System Design

One of the most beneficial features of SOLIDWORKS Plastics Professional is its capacity to aid in optimizing feed system design. By analyzing and simulating plastic flow through the mold’s feed system, engineers can make informed decisions about sprues, runners, and gate layout. This optimization not only ensures the quality of the final part but also contributes to reducing material waste and manufacturing time, leading to a more sustainable and cost-effective production process.

Seamless Integration with SOLIDWORKS CAD

Like its counterpart, SOLIDWORKS Plastics Professional fully integrates within SOLIDWORKS CAD, offering a unified platform for part and mold design. This integration facilitates a smooth workflow, allowing engineers to make design adjustments and simulate outcomes in real time. The ability to perform these tasks within a single environment enhances productivity and fosters innovation by enabling more iterative design exploration.

Why SOLIDWORKS Plastics Professional?

For mechanical engineers specializing in mold design, SOLIDWORKS Plastics Professional is not just a tool, but a powerful ally. It offers a unique combination of advanced simulation capabilities, optimization tools, and seamless integration with SOLIDWORKS CAD. This enables the detailed analysis and refinement of mold designs before any physical tooling is created, a significant step forward in efficiency, cost reduction, and product quality. In a market where the margins for error are increasingly slim, and the demands for sustainability and speed are ever-growing, SOLIDWORKS Plastics Professional is not just an investment, but a necessity for plastic part and mold engineers. For the engineer designing the plastic part only consider SOLIDWORKS Plastics Standard. If you need to simulate cooling and reduce mold cycle times step up to SOLIDWORKS Plastics Premium

Network vs. Standalone

A Network license allows multiple users to share a pool of licenses across a network, while a Standalone license is tied to a single computer and can only be used by one user at a time.

If you are a sole user or prefer to have dedicated licenses for each machine, a standalone license will likely be the best option. However, for teams that need to share licenses across multiple users or locations, network licenses offer greater flexibility.

Term vs. Perpetual

With a perpetual license, you own the software and can use it forever, while with a term license, you only have access to the software for the duration of your subscription period.

If you have stable design needs, a predictable budget and want to own the software outright, perpetual is your best option. For companies with fluctuating project needs who want lower upfront costs and flexibility to adjust their software usage, term licenses are your best option.
