Unlock the Injection Process with Digital Twins & Automation part I

Target group: Decision makers and managers in plastic injection moulding companies who want to understand how simulation technology translates into measurable business results:

-      factory managers and production managers

-      technical managers and department heads

-      procurement and investment decision makers.

PROGRAMME

•     Introduction to Digital Twin Technology

–     What is a Digital Twin and why does it matter for your production?

–     Overview of Moldex3D 2026 simulation capabilities

•     The Cost of Inefficiency in Injection Moulding

–     Quantifying losses from trial-and-error: material, time and rework

–     Predicting defects before cutting steel

–     Return on investment: simulation versus traditional approach

•     Autopsy of a Real-World Moulding Failure

–     Case study: dissection of a complex industrial defect

–     Warpage, short shots and sink marks — root-cause identification

–     Why machine parameter adjustments alone cannot solve root-cause issues

•     Machine Interface Demonstration

–     Transferring simulation parameters directly to the injection machine

–     Bridging the virtual simulation and the physical shop floor

•     Networking Lunch (12:00 – 13:30)

PREREQUISITES

-      A general understanding of the injection moulding business context is sufficient to follow this session.

-      Basic knowledge of the injection moulding cycle and main process stages is helpful but not required.

-      Familiarity with common moulding defects (warpage, short shots, sink marks) is an advantage.

-      No prior experience with simulation software is needed.
