Rheology
Simulation of the injection molding process allows:
� Determining process ability of a molding (processing window)
� Identification of problem areas (weld lines, entrapped air, warpage,…)
� Determining optimum gate positions and runner dimensions
� Using of calculated fibre orientation in other FEM simulations for more accurate
predictions (integrative simulation)

After the automatic iterative optimization process, material is
placed in areas contributing to the part‘s
stiffness
In areas with no static function, material is
displaced
• After the automatic iterative optimization process, material is placed in areas contributing to the part‘s stiffness

Hybrid Technology Principle
Hybrid Technology
Injection Molding Process:
Dimensional changes of the plastic component due to shrinkage are being limited by the strenght/stiffness of the metal profile.
Forming Process:
Stretching, compression and punching of the sheet metal
Dimensional inaccuracy of the sheet metal will be eliminated during the molding process.
Influencing Factors on Tolerances:
Application:
Dimensional changes due to climatic variations (temperature, humidity) are small because of the dimensional stability of the sheet metal.
