Research conducted collaboratively by SimpaTec, Premec S.p.A., Toolax, and Contura MTC revealed how the team used Moldex3D to find out a cost-effective method to yield a high-gloss surface finish. In their study, they simulated the injection molding process under conventional thermal and variothermal control using the same injection mold with conformal cooling. In addition, two materials — PC+ABS and PA6-GF30 — were analyzed in this research.
