MoldFlow Analysis
Practical MoldFlow study applied to mass production molds to remove defects in advance
MoldFlow Analysis
We apply a practical MoldFlow study to mass production molds to keep quality stable and to find potential defects and risks in advance. The analysis runs in four stages.
- Cooling designed from the analysis rather than from habit
- Weld lines placed where they do not show
- Fewer tool corrections after the first trial
- Evidence you can share with your own process engineers
How MoldFlow Analysis Runs
Filling
How the cavity fills, where the flow fronts meet and where weld lines will land.
Packing
How the part is held under pressure and where sink risk remains.
Warpage
How the part moves as it cools, and what that does to flatness and fit.
Cooling
Where the heat leaves the tool, and how the cooling layout should be arranged to match.

MoldFlow Analysis — Common Questions
Is moldflow analysis included in the mold price?
It is part of how we build molds rather than an item sold separately. Where you want it as a stand-alone service, say so in the enquiry and we will quote it that way.
What do you need from us to start?
3D part data in STEP, IGES, Parasolid, CATIA or SolidWorks, the resin, the expected annual volume and your mold standard if you have one.
How long does it take?
The quotation comes back within two working days. The engineering itself runs against the project schedule agreed in that quotation. Specific durations: TBC per project.
Who will we be dealing with?
Our engineering team, which has been trained on customer mold standards and corresponds in English. Response is no later than 24 hours.
