Optimizing Designs for Manufacturability
Moldflow Plastics Advisers® (MPA®) is easy to use plastics simulation software that allows part and mold designers to optimize their designs during the earliest stages of new product development.
Moldflow Part Adviser
Quickly check the manufacturability of every part design.
Analysis Capabilities
Plastic Filling Analysis
Sink Marks Analysis
Cooling Quality Analysis
Gate Location Analysis
Molding Window Analysis
Key Benefits
Evaluate the manufacturing feasibility of every design iteration
Identify the most suitable plastics material candidate
Optimize the part wall thickness to achieve uniform filling, minimum cycle time, and lowest part cost
