Manufacturing Informed Design:Casting

As manufacturing changes, so do the tools that an engineer requires. Designers need to think differently in how they explore all that is possible with the type of manufacturing approaches that are available. In this session, take a look exploring design options based on machine learning.

Modern Modeling and Meshing

API Customization: An Introduction

Manufacturing is a fast paced where time is money. Through the use of Moldflow API tools, automate common tasks to spend less time on the mundane and more time on the important.

Investigating shear induced flow imbalances in Autodesk Moldflow

Continuing the study into shear induced imbalances, this presentation is intended as an update to previous work done by Beaumont Technologies. We’ll investigate variations of meshing and advanced settings in conjunction with the latest meshing and solver capabilities to see if the simulation results have improved to more closely match molded parts.

Predicting and compensating for plastic part warpage

In today’s ultra-competitive manufacturing environment, efficiency is paramount. For injection molders a big part of that efficiency is reducing the number of tuning loops on an injection molding tool in order to get parts within the required dimensional tolerances. This session will explore how to leverage Autodesk’s simulation and inspection capabilities (via Moldflow and PowerInspect respectively) to predict, evaluate, and compensate for plastic part warpage.
