Cool

Moldex3D/Solid-Cool is a true 3D simulation tool to analyze the mold cooling process. It allows users to simulate the cooling process for very thick parts, parts with big thickness changes, complicated geometry parts, etc.

Based on true 3D technology, Solid-Cool is an efficient tool to accurately analyze the mold temperature, the efficiency of cooling channel layout and the required cooling time in the design phase.

Moldex3D/Solid-Cool is a useful troubleshooting tool to detect possible mold cooling system defects, such as unbalanced cooling, hot spots, prolonged cooling time due to poor cooling efficiency. With true 3D technology, users can accurately evaluate the solid cooling efficiency to further optimize the cooling system design and reduce cycle time.
