SIGMA Engineering presents its simulation technology at K 2016
During the K 2016 SIGMA Engineering presents for the first time virtual and real production in parallel within the same booth. The virtual production helps identifying possible challenges before mold manufacturing and allows testing possible counter measures without risk. Visitors receive first-hand information about the application of SIGMASOFT® Virtual Molding along the complete development and production chain, with the example of the design article “Ursula”.

Not only the virtual but also the real production of Ursula will be demonstrated at K 2016 – a novelty at the SIGMA booth. |
From October 18th to 26th SIGMA Engineering GmbH will present its SIGMASOFT® Virtual Molding technology in parallel to real production at the K 2016 in Düsseldorf. In Hall 13, Booth B31, visitors will get a read into the different application fields along the development and production chain of injection molding processes. Through different examples, typical questions of elastomer, thermoplast, thermoset and Powder Injection Molding processes will be answered, thus demonstrating the potential of the software.
One of the examples may already be familiar to visitors of the last Fakuma – the design article “Ursula”, from CVA Silicone (part of the CVA Technology Pure Silicone Group). On a fully electric injection molding machine model e-mac 100, from the company Engel, the bottle carrier mesh will be produced at the SIGMA booth, using Silopren LSR 2670 from Momentive Performance Materials. Thus, visitors have the possibility to follow the real and virtual production of a part at the same time.
While for the part “Ursula” the main issue is the selection of the ideal material, further thermoplastic, rubber and liquid silicone applications will demonstrate how the SIGMASOFT® Virtual Molding technology supports networking and information exchange through the complete development chain. In doing so the part and mold design, as well as the production process are the main focus. From the first design draft up to trouble shooting of the production process, users can benefit by identifying possible challenges in sufficient time, and by testing solutions on the computer without risk and without wasting resources.
