Simulation Injection Molding Mandalorian Helmet
The simulation of injection molding can be performed using NOGRID points CFD software.
The importance of injection molding
Injection molding is one of the most important primary shaping processes in plastics manufacturing. In this case study, a Mandalorian helmet is filled with polymer, with the injection point located at the back of the helmet - a suboptimal position due to the relatively long distance to the front cavity.
Despite this, injection molding allows for the cost-effective mass production of complex molded parts that are ready for use. The process supports a wide range of part sizes, from tiny rings weighing just 0.0001 g to large containers up to 100 kg.
One of the most well-known components made by injection molding is the LEGO brick. However, many other toys and consumer goods are also manufactured using this process. Injection molding is highly cost-effective for large production volumes. Because the tooling costs are relatively high, the process only becomes economically viable when producing several thousand parts. However, a single mold can be used to produce up to several million parts, making it ideal for mass production.
Benefits of NOGRID points CFD software
NOGRID combines the capabilities for handling free-surface flows and moving parts within the domain and allows the simulation of any conceivable geometry and operating mode, such as
- computation is in full 3D solving complete Navier-Stokes-Equations
- easy and intuitive setup of the injection molding case
- free definable material properties by equations or curves
- injection by one or more inlets depending on time
- open or closed domains including moving of additional parts
- free definable venting holes

What is CFD from NOGRID?
CFD solves the fundamental equations that define the fluid flow process. With CFD software from NOGRID every engineer makes better decisions by predicting, analyzing and controlling fluid flow, heat and mass transfer or chemical reaction. By using NOGRID software for flow modeling you receive information on essential flow characteristics as for example flow distribution. Using it additional to testing and experimentation NOGRID software helps to improve the evaluation of your design – resulting in better construction and operation parameters, increasing planning security and money savings due to faster time to the marketplace for your product or process.
