Injection molding
The starting point: Unknown materials slow down production
Anyone processing new or little-known materials in injection molding quickly faces a challenge: without complete material data, reliable simulation is not possible. The process runs unstable, and costly trial loops often delay production start significantly.
The solution: MatIQ and StrömungsRaum®
With MatIQ and StrömungsRaum®, you do not need a complete data set to get started. It is enough to upload the material datasheet or known properties such as MFI, density, and elastic modulus. Based on this and our comprehensive database, the system creates complete simulation material cards – including all relevant parameters you need for simulation.
Each card receives a quality label that clearly shows how complete and reliable the data basis is. This lets you see at a glance which predictions are dependable and where targeted follow-up measurements add extra value.
As soon as new measurement data is available, the system automatically upgrades your material card – from “roughly plausible” to “technically validated”. You move step by step toward full process security without losing valuable time.
Your benefits at a glance
- Fast material selection and evaluation – even without complete material data, you receive a simulation-ready material card in the shortest time and can act quickly
- Stable processes – data-based recommendations for critical parameters
- Fewer trial runs, lower costs – well-founded recommendations help you avoid costly iterations from the start
- Direct variant comparison – make essential material or geometry differences visible before tools or machines are even used
- Shorter time to market – accelerate process development with simulation results as a solid, reliable decision basis
