Moldex3D’s Exclusive Patented Technology for Material Pressure Dependency Viscosity Measurement Helps Obtain a More Accurate Warp Prediction

When molding ultra-thin wall plastic parts, high injection speed is required to ensure a complete filling of the cavity. However, high injection speed tends to cause high filling pressure which will result in the compression of the free volume of polymer chains; therefore, the viscosity will get higher and the flow resistance will increase.

Integrated System for Automated Magneto-Transport Measurements at Variable Temperatures

Magneto-transport measurements are mostly conducted at variable temperatures and in high magnetic fields; often requiring an arbitrary orientation of the sample in the external field. So far, such measurements have proven to be somewhat cumbersome: expensive vector magnets yielding only limited 3D field strengths, high running costs due to liquid helium, as well as time-consuming software integration of various 3rd party instruments.
