Applications of reinforced composite materials are getting more and more popular in response to the lightweight and low-energy demands in the manufacturing. In order to predict and control the breakage or failure of an injection-molded plastic part, an accurate simulation on the fiber’s orientations inside is crucial for the following structural analyses.

However, the fiber model’s parameters would need some fine-tuning before being applied on the real part’s simulation workflow. As a result, it was natural for Moldex3D and Xnovo Technology, a pioneer in advanced X-ray imaging solutions, to offer together an advanced calibration for fiber parameters based on scan experiments, empowering users to conduct reliable and accurate simulations.

What You Will Learn

• Introduction of Fiber Orientation’s Importance in Injection Molding
• Experimental Method for Scanning the Fiber Orientation in the Plastic Part
• Moldex3D’s Fiber Orientation Model and Its Optimized Parameters

Speaker Intro

Adriaan van Roosmalen graduated from the Technical University of Denmark and holds a Master’s degree in Physics. He joined Xnovotech in 2022 as a Scientist, working with x-ray imaging of fiber-reinforced composites. Adriaan has played a key role in developing solutions to efficiently measure the fiber orientation and the automation suite that utilizes the Moldex3D API to optimize fiber simulation parameters.  He is responsible for the X-ray measurements and reporting for fiber measurement services.

Azat Slyamov is a Senior Scientist at Xnovo Technology, specializing in advanced X-ray microscopy and material characterization. Azat and his colleagues at Xnovo Technology are actively involved in industry collaborations, such as with CoreTech System, to integrate Xnovo’s 3D fiber imaging solutions into Moldex3D simulations. This partnership combines the expertise of both companies, enhancing the accuracy of simulations used in high-precision manufacturing, particularly for predicting mechanical strength and controlling molding defects in fiber-reinforced components.

Larry Ren graduated from National Taiwan University and has a Master’s degree in Engineering. He joined Moldex3D in 2008 and started as technical support in the World Sales department. After a brief stint in the US office, he dedicated himself to the European market, where he grew up during childhood. Over the years, Larry handled various tasks such as the day-to-day technical questions, customers’ case studies, business development, channel partners relationship and has been focused on the French speaking countries, Benelux, and Scandinavia since 2023. Larry is nowadays based in the Netherlands.
