Hsinchu, Taiwan — March 20, 2026 —As Artificial Intelligence and automation technologies move toward deep application, using intelligent means to precisely process data and predict potential risks has become the core driving force for industrial digital transformation. Moldex3D 2026 focuses on three major development pillars: Automation, Optimization, and Intelligence (A.O.I.), bringing users more powerful intelligent predictive suggestions, intuitive automated workflows, and significant upgrades in simulation performance. The launch of the new version will help enterprises easily implement key intelligent tools, maximizing product development efficiency and core competitiveness.

The important updates and highlights of Moldex3D 2026 are as follows:

Evolved Analysis Performance for Precision and Efficiency

Moldex3D 2026 continues to refine its solver architecture and optimize simulation performance to meet the high-precision demands of various industries. The new version offers more stable hot runner injection pressure prediction and enables efficient analysis of multi-cavity systems using partial runner models, achieving over 4x speed improvement while maintaining high accuracy. The fully upgraded crystallization simulation integrates unique high-speed cooling measurement data from the Moldex3D Material Lab, bringing simulations closer to real processing conditions and significantly improving the consistency of weld line length, position, and particle tracking. We also provide non-linear material models for fiber-reinforced plastics; fiber orientation and material properties can be directly exported to LS-DYNA and Atlas, supporting a complete workflow from design to structural verification and making it easier to evaluate the optimal balance between lightweighting and strength.

Faster and Smoother, Creating a Seamless User Experience

With “See it, Use it, Get it” at its core, Moldex3D 2026 optimizes the user experience and pre-processing workflow. The new-generation Gate Location Advisor automatically suggests optimal gate positions, significantly reducing manual trial and error. Meanwhile, enhanced mesh repair tools and cooling channel modeling feature real-time previews, auto-alignment, and repair mechanisms, accelerating the transition from modeling to analysis.

In terms of operation, we have introduced a vector control panel and multi-point probes to simultaneously monitor flow, temperature, and pressure at key locations. Max/Min tags now support free movement and directional locking, which, combined with hotkeys, makes result interpretation more intuitive. Furthermore, a one-click entry point allows users to seamlessly connect to the iSLM and Moldiverse cloud ecosystems for instant access to the latest automation apps and technical resources.

Additionally, the new iMolding Advisor extends data-driven smart manufacturing to the trial mold process. Users can quickly obtain suggested parameters via the Molding Window Advisor and connect them to the trial guiding system with one click, obtaining settings close to actual machine performance to predict results and receive correction suggestions in advance. All adjustment histories are automatically saved, helping companies transform process experience into digital intellectual assets for stable mass production and traceability.

A.O.I. Core Driven: Building a Smart Simulation Ecosystem

Deep integration of intelligent technology is the core strength of Moldex3D 2026. Based on the A.O.I. (Automation, Optimization, Intelligence) framework, the entire R&D and data management process is optimized. In automation and optimization, the new Run Summary supports one-click export of structured Excel/CSV reports, ensuring transparency and traceability. The APP Center aggregates simulation aids and automation tools, helping engineers complete model settings and report generation rapidly. Meanwhile, the DOE Wizard adds support for “Design Constraints,” allowing engineers to balance quality factors with actual production constraints when searching for optimal designs.

In intelligent applications, we have introduced AI algorithms to enhance R&D decision precision. The iSLM Discovery series proactively reveals potential molding defects and provides scientific design suggestions, while AI Chat allows users to perform diagnostics and data retrieval using natural language. Furthermore, the evolved Moldibot on Moldiverse integrates a professional knowledge base and forum content, offering “Deep Thinking” capabilities to gain insights into the essence of complex problems. Coupled with the AI Material Assistant on Material Hub Cloud, this helps enterprises efficiently transform simulation data into high-value intelligent assets.

Solving Advanced Packaging Challenges with Efficient Modeling

To meet the rising demand for advanced packaging in the semiconductor industry, Moldex3D 2026 introduces Hybrid Zone and EBG (Equivalent Bump Group) modeling technologies. These reduce complex CUF simulation time to 1/3 or even 1/15 of the original while maintaining critical physical behaviors. Additionally, automated meshing for electronic packaging and IC Auto Hybrid Mesh technology enable one-click generation of high-quality grids and optimize dispensing path stability, reducing modeling time to 1/10 of previous workflows. This assists engineers in obtaining precise results in less time, effectively addressing the challenges of both traditional and high-difficulty advanced packaging processes.
