SIGMASOFT®Silicone

SIGMASOFT^® Silicone includes all the capabilities of other versions of SIGMASOFT^® Virtual Molding for injection molding, such as:

Intuitive setup, easy to learn
Runs on Windows and Linux with up to 32 cores
Simple data and geometry import/export
CAD functionality/geometry editor
Comprehensive material database for mold steels, insulation materials, fluids, controlled heating cartridges, etc.
Calculations ranging from simple filling simulations to detailed multi-cycle analysis
Shrinkage/warpage prediction
Process-dependent cost calculation with SIGMAecon (optional)
Autonomous optimization of mold design, process parameters, energy consumption, costs, etc.
3D communication internally and externally with SIGMAinteract^®
Extensive support from the SIGMA Solution Service
Access to SIGMA Academy for specialized trainings

For the unique flow and curing characteristics of silicone rubbers (HCR and LSR), 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 silicone 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 heating cartridges
Temperature control and post-curing after demolding
Influence of (optionally preheated) inserts in multi-component injection molding
Material database with numerous silicone compounds and LSRs from various manufacturers

In addition to injection molding, SIGMASOFT® Silicone can also simulate compression and transfer molding processes, both of which are essential in rubber processing:

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.
