Thermoset rubber molding involves complex processes often hindered by defects like flashing, voids, and uneven curing, which increase development time and production costs. The Moldex3D simulation software addresses these challenges by enabling accurate virtual predictions and optimizations. This presentation shows how Moldex3D Studio enhances rubber and thermoset molding through applications in injection, transfer, and compression molding, supported by real-world case studies.

Utilizing the software facilitates a comprehensive analysis of processing parameters, such as temperature, pressure, and time, on material behavior. Key topics include curing behavior, fiber orientation, material characterization, and multi-charge compression design. Through automated Design of Experiments (DOEs) and validation studies, attendees will learn to reduce material waste, shorten cycle times, and improve part quality. This simulation-driven approach allows manufacturers to troubleshoot flow issues and optimize thermal layouts, leading to more efficient rubber manufacturing and improved product performance.

What Attendees Will Learn?
