Hsinchu, Taiwan – December 11, 2018 – Utilizing fiber-reinforced composites materials satisfying both lightweight and structure needs for plastic production are now a main global industry trend. CoreTech Systems Co., Ltd. (Moldex3D) provides comprehensive simulation capabilities for composites, and also holds world-leading technology and research in this field. As an example, iARD-RPR, a new fiber orientation model invented by Moldex3D, is a significant breakthrough. In this theoretical model, only three parameters are required to accurately predict the anisotropic fiber orientation of complicated geometries in injection molding simulation.
Moldex3D’s composites simulation technology has also been recognized around the world. It has received US patents and the relevant research papers are published in many prestigious journals including Journal of Rheology® and Polymer Composites. We also have more collections of such papers received in professional journals. To view these, visit Moldex3D Technical Papers, the knowledge library for professionals in plastic engineering academic and industries.
If you are interested in Moldex3D’s research about fiber and composites simulation, follow the Research Gate of Dr. Ivor Tzeng, Project Manager at Moldex3D Product R&D Division.
