Better Plastics Injection Molding Seminar
Presented by
Electric vehicles, clean energy solutions and many eco-friendly products rely on injection molded plastic parts to meet their application requirements and achieve climate-related and CO2 footprint reduction goals.
Companies who ultimately rely on plastic parts for the success of their products and businesses must use CAE simulation to ensure their parts are optimized for injection molding manufacturability and end-use application requirements. This further ensures that their products align with and achieve the goals and objectives of the plastics circular economy.
Therefore, please join CAD Micro and Dassault Systèmes at this seminar to learn about recent advances in state-of-the-art injection molding simulation solutions that allow you to:
- Design, develop and optimize higher quality and more sustainable plastic products
- Avoid injection mold rework, project timeline delays and cost overruns
- Align with and achieve the goals and objectives of the plastics circular economy
