SolidWorks Plastics brings injection molding simulation directly to designers of plastic
SolidWorks Plastics makes it easy for
parts and injection molds. You don’t have to be an expert to easily identify and address
companies that design plastic parts or
potential defects by making changes to the part or mold design, plastics material, or
injection molds to predict and avoid
processing parameters, saving resources, time, and money.
