[CAE Solution Case] Visualization of Vacuum/Pressure Forming

Technical data presentation in progress! Achieving reduction of rework through ASU/V-Struct analysis.

We would like to introduce a CAE solution case using the structural analysis software 'ASU/V-Struct' for visualizing vacuum/pressure forming. In vacuum/pressure forming, heated resin sheets are pressed against molds for shaping. As a result, variations in the thickness of the molded products are likely to occur, and if the thickness becomes extremely thin, issues such as insufficient strength arise, leading to defective products. Additionally, defects such as wrinkles on the molded products can occur. If such problems can be identified and addressed in advance through analysis, it can reduce rework related to defects and help control labor costs. We provide detailed information about our products and services in a PDF document, so please take a look. 【Case Overview (Partial)】 ■Challenges - Unable to predict the thickness of the molded products - Want to understand how the material adheres to the mold - Defective products have emerged, and we want to investigate/improve *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

basic information

【Summary of Other Cases】 ■Proposal - Simulate the conditions during molding through analysis, visualizing the deformation and strain in the thickness direction. - Predict defect factors from the results and examine the conditions. ■Effects - By predicting sheet deformation at the design stage, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of defects in advance and reduce rework. - It becomes possible to investigate and improve defect factors. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
