Injection mold qualification

Fimmtech Inc. (Vista, CA) is releasing Nautilus 4.0, an upgrade to its mold qualification software that includes a Design of Experiments (DOE) module specially configured for injection molding. The software provides worksheets for process development using Scientific Molding techniques and also includes checklists, setup documentation worksheets, waterline and mold temperature diagrams, and a part quality module. A tools menu facilitates calculations such as water flow requirements, tonnage requirements, and miscellaneous conversions. A new feature in the DOE module overlays the Aesthetic Process Window over the contour plots and displays the working Dimensional Process Window. Alarm values and tolerances can be set by drawing a dynamic process window. —[email protected]
