Cadmould 2.0

Cadmould is a specialized simulation and optimization suite for plastic injection molding, developed by SIMCON Kunststofftechnische Software GmbH. It helps part designers, toolmakers, and process engineers predict and improve how parts fill, pack, cool, and deform before any steel is cut.

With robust 3D and shell-based analysis, Cadmould visualizes key phenomena such as fill patterns, pressure and clamp force, temperature distribution, weld lines, air traps, sink marks, shrinkage, warpage, and fiber orientation. It supports evaluation of gate and runner layouts, cooling concepts (including conformal cooling), and cycle time, enabling data-driven decisions that reduce iterations and improve part quality and dimensional stability.

Cadmould includes an extensive, validated material database for thermoplastics and connects CAD geometry to meshing and setup workflows with streamlined import of common formats. Its reporting and result comparison tools make it easy to communicate findings and document design choices.

For automated design space exploration, Cadmould integrates with SIMCON’s VARIMOS technology to run systematic design of experiments, optimize process parameters and geometry, and build robust process windows based on real-world variability.

Typical outcomes include shorter development cycles, fewer mold changes, more stable production, and lower scrap. Cadmould is available in modular configurations to fit different roles and project scopes, and is backed by SIMCON’s training and technical support.
