All parts that are tooled by 21st Century Plastics Corp. have a full mold filling and warp analysis run on the CAD model. This analysis is intended to simulate a perfect injection mold cooling condition, and will indicate warpage that may be a result of material selection or design. Warpage is not always undesirable, but this tool will help reduce surprises after the injection mold has been built. All results will be reviewed with the customer in person, or if distance becomes an issue we can still meet using WebEx.
In addition to the 3D printer, our expert engineering team has the ability to manage programs using the latest in CAD/CAE programs; solid modeling, finite element analysis (FEA), mold filling analysis, and full warpage analysis.
