Harnessing Moldex3D for Optimal Product Development at HSV Technical Molded Parts
HSV Technical Molded Parts is part of the HSV Group, founded in 1968 and headquartered in Europe. With an annual turnover of approximately €90 million, the company specializes in the development of large to very large injection molded parts. These products are co-developed closely with customers, with a strong focus on optimization throughout both the development and production phases.
For HSV, joint development with customers goes beyond basic design discussions. It is a tightly integrated process from the initial concept through to mass production, aiming to optimize part design, reduce costs, and improve quality. Within this collaborative approach, Moldex3D plays a critical role.
How do you precisely manage over 50 injection points? How do you produce a double-cavity mold on a 4,000-ton injection molding machine?
Specializing in large-scale plastic components, HSV faces high costs and high risks. Their solution: simulation with Moldex3D to achieve first-time-right success.
Simulation analysis is introduced as early as the product design phase, not only helping optimize part geometry for the customer but also enabling HSV to make key internal decisions — such as material selection, wall thickness adjustments, and process planning. From early feasibility studies to production, simulation results serve as a “third-party language” for effective communication with clients, significantly reducing development time and costs.
Key Benefits of Moldex3D for HSV
• First-time-right development, accelerating time-to-market
• Reduced tooling and equipment investments (e.g., avoiding the need for additional machinery)
• Early-stage risk prediction and design adjustment
• Improved customer communication and trust
• Advanced simulation capabilities for large and complex parts (e.g., foaming, sequential injection)
