Version 1. MF/SHRINK enables tool designers and toolmakers to size mold cavities to produce a product of known and acceptable dimensions.
Cavities sized using traditional generic material shrinkage values are often inaccurate and require final cavity dimensions to be determined through expensive and time consuming prototyping, mold commisioning and mold reworks.
MF/SHRINK is the first commercially available finite element analysis tool to predict plastics shrinkage based on the full effects of processing and grade specific material data. MF/SHRINK calculates varying shrinkage allowances in different directions and a single shrinkage value that will best meet critical molding dimensions as specified by the user.
