Moldflow vs. Mold Floor: What Can You Trust?
Your simulation results may not always match the reality of what you see on your shop floor.
AIM’s Sr. Simulation Instructor (Jennifer Schmidt) and Sr. Processing Instructor (Jason Travitz) examine both sides of this dilemma and what the distinctions are between your simulation analyses and what your processors are seeing at the press.
What you learn may surprise you!
