Moldflow Plastic Adviser, Plastics Insight, Moldflow Mpi, Mold flow communicator and Mold Adviser are Mould flow software products for simulating the injection molding of plastic materials. Imtech use CAD Connectivity Tools to link structural CAD - CAE to MPI, MPA and MPX Community projects in the plastics and tool making industry.

Moldflow is the registered trademark Moldflow Corporation & Moldflow Europe ltd and Mold flow Plastics Labs as advised in the flow front magazine and trade publications.

The Fiber-orientation flow analysis is used to predict the behavior of composite materials. While injection-molded fiber-reinforced thermoplastics constitute a major commercial application of short-fiber composite (a filler within a polymer matrix) materials, the modeling of the process is more complex than in other flow applications. In injection-molded composites, the fiber alignment (or orientation) distributions show a layered nature, and are affected by the filling speed, the processing conditions and material behavior, plus the fiber aspect ratio and concentration. Without proper consideration of the fiber behavior, there is a tendency to significantly overestimate the orientation levels. The Moldflow fiber orientation model allows significantly improved orientation prediction accuracy over a range of materials and fiber contents.

Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) and Other Specialist Styrenics

Properties: Rigid, opaque, glossy tough, good low temperature properties, good dimensional stability and easily electroplated, low creep.

Applications: Telephone handsets, rigid luggage, domestic appliance housings (food mixers), electroplated parts, radiator grills, handles and computer housings.

Polyesters (Thermoplastic - PETP, PBT, PET)

Properties: PBT, PET and PBT Blends are engineering plastics with excellent processing characteristics and high strength and rigidity for a broad range of applications.

Applications: Engineering polymers are used in the manufacture of a wide range of components, including under bonnet parts, exterior parts (window wiper holders and exterior mirror housing).

Polycarbonate (PC)

Properties: Polycarbonates are strong, stiff, hard, tough, transparent engineering thermoplastics that can maintain rigidity up to 140oC and toughness down to -20°C or special grades even lower.

Applications: In recent years Polycarbonate blends have become increasingly commercially important. PC is widely used in blends due to its excellent compatibility with a range of polymers.

Typical Applications include: Electronic and business equipment (computer parts, connectors, etc.), appliances (food processors, refrigerator drawers, etc.), transportation (head lights, tail lights, instrument panels, etc.).

After plastic design elements and cost elements have been considered, it's time to get the plastic molded. This step is done entirely on the part of production team. After all, Imtech Design is not a consulting or design firm solely, but also a trouble shooter and analyses technician. The steps of the molded plastics production process are carefully planned and adhere to industry certification standards. In addition, customers get the benefit of experienced plastics engineers working on their component part. The plastic is cooled and packaged after molding.
