Description
The metal injection molding (MIM) process is a combined one of the injection molding and powder metallurgy, and it is used to manufacture complex metallic parts. Now Moldflow Insight software can simulate the MIM process and predict different common defects from the MIM process, such as weld lines, air traps, and "black lines" caused by the powder segregation. The Moldflow Research and Development Team has teamed with AAC Technologies (the world's leading comprehensive microcomponent technology provider) to simulate this process. This class will introduce the basic theory, challenges, and actual cases to show the MIM feature in Moldflow Insight software. Finally, an excellent correlation was achieved with validation data provided by AAC. This session features Moldflow Insight.
