SOLIDWORKS Plastics
Learn more about SOLIDWORKS Plastics software from Javelin technical experts through our software tech tips, related articles, and case studies.
SOLIDWORKS Plastics material database contains thousands of materials used in injection molding. This includes polymers, metals for the molds and inserts and coolant materials. Depending upon the simulation requirement users can assign polymer materials to Injection units, polymer or metal for Insert domains, metals for mold domains and coolant material for cooling channel domains. Database…
SOLIDWORKS Plastics has several different package levels with tools for designers, molding process optimization, and even mold designs with advanced cooling. Often much of the necessary knowledge to run/design molds are held by just a handful or maybe even one person at the company. Utilizing SOLIDWORKS Plastics is a great way to share this info…
In its simplest terms, design analysis is a powerful software technology for simulating physical behavior on the computer. Will it break? Will it deform? Will it get too hot? These are the types of questions for which design analysis provides accurate answers. Instead of building a prototype and developing elaborate testing regimens to analyze the physical…
SOLIDWORKS Plastics: Leveraging Smart Data for Optimal Plastic Part Design & Manufacturability [LIVE WEBINAR]
Are you a Plastic Part Designer, Process Engineer, and/or an Injection Mold Designer that needs real world answers to the following questions? Has my plastic part design been optimized to ensure optimal cycle time? How can I reduce tooling costs, lead time and eliminate tooling revisions? How can SolidWorks Simulation Technology leverage my Scientific Molding…
I am often asked questions regarding the accuracy of SOLIDWORKS Plastics and if it lines up with real injection molding. The simple answer is YES, it lines up very well. Plastics is great at predicting and avoiding manufacturing defects in your injection molded parts. Don’t just take my word for it. I encourage you to watch…
What’s New in SOLIDWORKS Education Edition 2016-2017 [VIDEO]
The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. — Lao Tzu, Ancient Chinese philosopher and writer The first step for any designer or engineer starts at the learning level. The first, best step, for anyone entering a design or engineering program is SOLIDWORKS. As the industry leader, SOLIDWORKS allows students to create and innovate…

Which plastic is best for your products? Find out with SOLIDWORKS
Did you know that there are fewer than 100 commonly used plastic materials? But, part designers are forced to choose from thousands of commercial-grade plastics because they are so highly customizable due to the use of fillers, additives, reinforcements, blends, copolymers, etc. In fact, just the addition of different colorants can cause a given material…
Will your design pass the injection molding process? Check with SOLIDWORKS Plastics
Producing high-quality, plastic injection-molded parts more quickly and cost-effectively than the competition has become a critical factor for manufacturing success in today’s global market. Instead of engaging in slow, expensive prototype iterations and test cycles to satisfy manufacturing requirements. Designers, moldmakers, and manufacturing professionals can leverage SOLIDWORKS® Plastics mold-filling simulation software to optimize parts for manufacturability. Refine tooling…
