For the unique flow and curing characteristics of various organic and synthetic rubbers, we offer a dedicated version of our unique simulation software.
SIGMASOFT® VIRTUAL MOLDING SUPPORTS SOLVING COMPLEX CHALLENGES IN INJECTION MOLDING FROM DESIGN TO PROCESSING.
For rubber processing, numerous specialized features are included:
- Curing already during the filling phase
- Local viscosity depending on shear, curing, and temperature
- Curing time and degree of curing at every point in the molded part
- Design, calculation, and consideration of cold runner systems
- Dimensioning and positioning of the heating system
- Temperature control and post-curing after demolding
- Influence of (optionally preheated) inserts in multi-component injection molding
- Generic material database with numerous rubber compounds
- New high-quality measured datasets with formulations available
In addition to injection molding, SIGMASOFT® Rubber can also simulate compression and transfer molding processes, both of which are essential in rubber processing.
Ready-to-process rubber compounds are rarely standardized, and determining individual material laws can be time-consuming and costly. The unique SIGMA Rubber Designer enables accurate estimation of processing properties without extensive measurements, allowing the supplied database to be quickly expanded for your specific needs.
With Virtual Molding technology, you can replicate real machine process conditions and simulate multiple production cycles consecutively. Accurately simulate vulcanization, process times, and inserts of all kinds. Gain a deep understanding of your mold and optimize its design and performance in detail.
