Moldflow Announces the Release of
Moldflow Plastics Insight 6.0 

Moldflow Corporation announced the release of Moldflow Plastics Insight® (MPI®) 6.0 design analysis software.

MPI 6.0 delivers new technologies and key enhancements that help users work more efficiently, significantly reduce solution time, interact better with CAD, structural analysis and other Moldflow applications, and better understand and communicate analysis results.

Two new technologies in MPI 6.0 bring significant breakthroughs for 3D filling and warpage applications. The new coupled 3D Flow solver is up to eight times faster, and renders more accurate temperature and shear heating calculations, new capabilities to predict air traps and to simulate gas penetration in 1D beam elements, and the first-of-its-kind capability to simulate jetting phenomena. Similarly, new 3D Warp solver technology delivers results up to 35 times faster.

Other key features include:  More efficient, panel-based interface;  Improved product integration; Streamlined diagnostic and communication tools; and More informative result displays.

Cold Jet Announces Launch of Revolutionary New Cleaning System

Cold Jet LLC, the world’s leading provider of environmentally–responsible dry ice cleaning technology, is introducing its new i³ technology platform with the launch of the i³MicroClean.

The i³MicroClean is a revolutionary new precision cleaning system that projects dry ice particles shaved from blocks to thoroughly clean small, deep and/or complex cavities, molds and crevices that other methods cannot reach. It also cleans small, delicate surfaces faster than traditional methods and without abrasion or disassembly.

The i³MicroClean capitalizes on Cold Jet’s patented shaved ice and feeder technologies to deliver a complete cleaning outcome with an unmatched low cost of ownership. 

Unlike any other blast system available today, the i³MicroClean’s low air and ice consumption provides for cost-effective and almost noise-free operation. It is, like all other Cold Jet systems, ergonomic and intuitive, easy to operate, fast, effective and proven reliable. It also utilizes a readily available blast medium: block dry ice.  

The use of recycled CO2 either reduces or completely eliminates the use of hazardous chemicals. It also eliminates secondary waste streams as the dry ice particles disappear on impact.
