LINET, a leading global manufacturer of medical beds, transitioned from traditional steel to lightweight plastic construction, choosing to partner with Moldex3D. This collaboration elevated their product development from guesswork to precision.

The Challenge: From Traditional to Modern Materials

The medical industry demands exceptional strength and durability, especially for products that endure frequent chemical sanitization and high-temperature cleaning. LINET faced key challenges with their new plastic designs:

• Aesthetic Flaws: Plastic parts are prone to cosmetic defects like sink marks.
• Functional Failure: Under stress and high heat, parts can warp or deform.
• Material Selection: Balancing material costs, weight, and strength was critical.

The Solution: Moldex3D, the Bridge to Reality

LINET integrated Moldex3D into their design process to predict and resolve issues before production.

• Flawless Aesthetics: Moldex3D’s simulations helped engineers optimize designs to eliminate sink marks and ensure a perfect finish.
• Enhanced Durability: With stress analysis, LINET ensured parts could withstand harsh environments and maintain stability.
• Smart Material Choices: Simulations allowed for scientific material selection, achieving performance goals while reducing weight and waste.
• Faster Development: Accurate cooling simulations helped optimize the molding cycle, speeding up production and time to market.

The Outcome: A Leap Forward in Quality

By shifting to a data-driven approach, Moldex3D provided LINET with powerful predictive capabilities. This has enabled the company to consistently deliver innovative, durable, and aesthetically pleasing medical beds, reinforcing its leadership in the industry.
