Systematic Approach to a Precision Polymer Gear Wheel

Optimizing a Tricky Component Geometry Using Sigmasoft Virtual Molding

A great deal has already been reported about the use of Virtual Molding software to plan and analyze injection molding processes from start to finish. However, many people are unaware that this tool can be used to optimize functionality at the design stage. MS-Schramberg, a company specialized in magnets, has a track-record of developing precision polymer parts for the automotive industry. The following practical example of a gear wheel demonstrates how the efficiency of component optimization can be boosted through the use of simulation.
