October 13, 2012 6:27 am

Dassault Systèmes unveiled SolidWorks Plastics software, easy-to-use software tools that enable users to predict and avoid manufacturing defects during the earliest stages of plastics part and injection mould design.  The new products run fully embedded inside of SolidWorks, providing part designers and mould makers with familiar and intuitive workflows so they can quickly optimize their part and mould designs for manufacturability. The ability to make design changes early helps ensure that the mould  works right the first time, reducing or eliminating the need for rework and improving part quality. In addition, SolidWorks Plastics provides users with valuable knowledge so they can determine whether changes to the part geometry, mould  design, material selection or processing conditions will have a positive impact on the ability to easily manufacture their products. The SolidWorks Plastics products are based on technology from SIMPOE SAS (SIMPOE), one of the leading providers of plastics injection mould ing simulation software. As a SolidWorks Gold Partner, SIMPOE currently provides fully integrated, fully interoperable, “single window” functionality for SolidWorks. The new solutions products build on the previous relationship and will be offered under the SolidWorks brand.  “Asia is the world’s largest consumer of plastics with per capita consumption of plastic products in India moving towards 2.5 times the GDP growth. The expanding customer base has increased the demand for innovative designing solutions for the plastic industry to meet the requirements of the sector” said Manoj Mehta, Country Manager, India & SAARC, SolidWorks. “The addition of SolidWorks Plastics in our product portfolio is aimed at expanding our product line into new areas while following the traditional SolidWorks focus on ease-of-use and features that provide real-time benefit to customers”
