Recorded Wednesday, February 24 at 11AM EST – Presented by SOLIDWORKS Plastics
The challenge in plastics part production is determining how your part or mold design impacts manufacturing and how manufacturing will impact your design, and then communicating that information early and often throughout the design-to-manufacturing process. SolidWorks Plastics gives you the tools to quickly identify potential problems during the earliest stages of design, eliminating costly mold rework, improving part quality and accelerating time to market.
Part designers get rapid feedback on how modifications to wall thickness, gate locations, materials, or geometry can affect the manufacturing of their part, while mold designers can quickly optimize multi-cavity and family mold layouts and feed systems—including sprues, runners, and gates.

I might be interested in registering for the Webinar SolidWorks Plastics Feb 24th, is there a cost to register? We have SolidWorks In house and just this week I tried to review some of our existing mold designs and SolidWorks could hardly open any large files? We are currently looking into a seat of SolidWorks for myself to review mold designs. Is the “Plastic” a special add on to the SolidWorks software?
Thanks for your post and video. I’m continually impressed with how much computer technology affects every part of our life. Mostly making it better. In this case it helps get any problems with plastics solved before getting past the design process. Or at least mitigating it so that you don’t have to start from scratch every time.
