Injection Molding Intermediate

SOLIDWORKS Plastics

The SOLIDWORKS Plastics course teaches how to use the SOLIDWORKS Plastics simulation tool to optimize plastic part designs for manufacturability. The course covers predicting injection molding processes, detecting defects, optimizing mold designs, and implementing control systems. Key skills include filling and sink mark analysis, warpage analysis, cooling channel design, and hot runner analysis. The course lasts 2 days and requires prior knowledge of SOLIDWORKS Essentials and Advanced Part Modeling.

The SOLIDWORKS Plastics course is designed to teach participants how to use SOLIDWORKS Plastics, a specialized simulation software tool, to optimize their plastic part designs for manufacturability. This course aims to help users maximize quality, avoid rework, and decrease time to market by providing an in-depth understanding of SOLIDWORKS Plastics’ capabilities in predicting and managing the injection molding process.

About SOLIDWORKS Plastics:

SOLIDWORKS Plastics is a comprehensive tool for computer-aided design (CAD) that supports the prediction of how melted plastic flows during the injection molding process. It serves as an ideal companion to other SOLIDWORKS products, such as SOLIDWORKS Electrical Schematic for system engineering and SOLIDWORKS Design for manufacturing and plant layout, facilitating seamless integration across different stages of product development. By predicting manufacturing defects such as weld lines, air traps, short shots, and sink marks, you can change the part or mold geometry, the processing conditions, or the plastic material itself to eliminate or minimize them, saving energy, material, time, and money. The SOLIDWORKS Plastics course covers all the features and functions of both SOLIDWORKS Plastics Professional (for part designers) and SOLIDWORKS Plastics Premium (for mold designers).

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.
