WHAT IS ALTAIR INSPIRE MOLD?
Inspire Mold is an integrated tool to analyze plastic injection molding processes. From mold creation to filling, packing, cooling and warpage simulation. A simple workflow helps users avoid common injection molding defects such as warping, short shots and sink marks. Inspire Mold adds to an already robust manufacturing analysis solution from Altair.
Injection Molding Analysis
Mold Creation
Start with a 3D part and use that to create a negative-cavity mold. Automatically create geometry for runner systems and balancing, gate location, air vents and other important mold features.
Test multiple design options easily including multiple cavities, inserts, runner systems and sprues.
Material Library-2
Material Database
Through Altair Material Data Center users get access to reliable material data. Users can also simulate different fiber orientations and integrate results into structural analysis.
Understand Potential Defects
Quickly understand common manufacturing defects such as air traps, weld lines, short shots (non-fills), jetting and sink marks.
Key Capabilities
- Generate mold designs and mold configurations including runner systems, gates and other mold components
- Filling, packing, cooling and warpage simulations
- Understand manufacturing defects like: air traps, weld lines, jetting and hesitation
- Simulate fiber orientation for reinforced parts

INJECTION MOLDING
The benefits and disadvantages of injection molding are established
from years of industry experience. In the beginning, much of this relied
on a trial-and-error approach using the experience of the engineers
and toolmakers to get it as good as possible, as quickly as possible.
