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
