CoreTech System (Moldex3D) will be presenting at MIM2016- International Conference on Injection Molding of Metals, Ceramics and Carbides, Tuesday, March 8th at Hotel Irvine.

CoreTech System (Moldex3D) will be presenting the paper entitled 「Surface Defect Prediction of Black Lines in Metal Injection Molding,」 which highlights the recent technological developments in simulating the Metal Injection Molding (MIM). The presentation will also describe the benefits of using CAE simulation tools to reduce potential manufacturing defects.

Explore Moldex3D’s Capabilities in Black Line Prediction

The major challenge that the PIM industry (MIM—metal injection molding; CIM—ceramic injection molding; and CCIM— cemented carbide injection molding) faces is black lines, caused by phase separation of powder and binder, namely, non-uniform powder concentration. Black lines will decrease aesthetic appeal and product quality. Moldex3D can visualize the shear rate distribution and powder concentration to avoid black lines before manufacturing.
