REM3D® is the plastics injection simulation software of the Transvalor suite. It simulates the chemical foaming process and especially integrates models dedicated to open mold foaming. This process involves pouring polyurethane foam into an open mold and then closing it before complete foam expansion. The mold is opened once the polymerization has ended.
The module included in REM3D® makes it possible to test and identify the optimal parameters for the production of foamed parts. Indeed, it is possible to:
Once the parameters have been entered, REM3D® models the filling of the mold. The software can analyze the evolution of the foam density, to optimize the mass initially deposited and to reduce the cycle times.
Potential defects such as underfillings will also be detected to contribute to high quality parts manufacturing.
