It provides intelligent wizard tools and post-processors, supports complete RTM model preprocessing, and facilitates early defect diagnosis and design modifications. Additionally, Moldex3D introduces model comparison, multi-group comparison report functions, and result display lists to optimize result output, save file storage space, and provide a superior user experience.
Addressing Challenges in Electronic Encapsulation Processes to Improve IC Packaging Quality and Performance
In the era of strong development in AI intelligence, IC packaging is heading towards two directions of high reliability and high performance, each with different design and manufacturing requirements. To meet strict product standards, the use of molding analysis can quickly solve production defects and accelerate time-to-market.
Moldex3D 2024 continues to enhance IC packaging simulation capabilities. In addition to basic flow filling and curing process simulations, the newly added wire bonding further expands the application scope. It not only helps improve product quality and effectively prevents potential defects but also optimizes designs through simulation to reduce manufacturing costs and cycle time.
Furthermore, we also launched the industry’s first electronic potting simulation. Using convenient modeling tools and setting interfaces, a variety of process designs can be replicated, providing users with more realistic and detailed visualization of dispensing head paths and feeding. Leveraging complete physical models to simulate surface tension-induced phenomena achieves more comprehensive electronic encapsulation simulation.
Facilitating Plastic Component Design to Enhance Quality and Efficiency
With technological advancements and evolving demands, plastic products have found more innovative applications. In addition to meeting comfort and aesthetic requirements, they must also possess functionality and safety. Moldex3D 2024 enhances the simulation accuracy and speed of large components, assisting users in efficiently obtaining optimal production parameters when designing products such as bumpers, thereby improving quality and increasing production output. The addition of the Dual Nakamura model enables more realistic simulation of warpage, and exporting warpage deformation results as STEP models allows users to consider the degree of warpage for mold compensation adjustments, effectively eliminating the impact of product deformation.
Moldex3D 2024 also continues to enhance insight into the appearance of plastic components, optimizing welding line calculation efficiency, and supporting bilinear isotropic hardening models. We strengthen shrinkage prediction capabilities in injection molding and foam molding, considering the effect of trapped air, thus enabling various defects to be addressed at the design stage, reducing the significant time and cost of mold reworking.
