For manufacturers, difficulty arises in finding the best injection system for their components. Often, weld lines, flow marks, or trapped air are the criteria for positioning the gate system. Manufacturers rarely use the connection to minimize the filling pressure. However, this is an important criterion from an economic point of view. The positioning of the injection point, which has a high filling pressure result, forcibly also means that a higher clamping force is needed. In addition, the higher cavity pressure shortens the life of the tool. Virtual Molding eliminates the need for a good design through trial and error during development, allowing the user to virtually navigate a significant number of design iterations. This allows the user to find the optimum placement of the sprue system for an injection molding component, which is becoming less obvious as component complexity increases.
