👉 Would you like to explore which package is right for you?

The complete package

VARIMIZE-IT!

VARIMIZE-IT! is our complete package, which includes all of CADMOULD's modules and VARIMOS.

You can simulate and optimize your entire injection molding process, including all special methods and materials, such as injection compression, foam and rubber materials.

VARIMIZE-IT is right for you if you work with special methods and processes.

Simulate the full injection molding process, from filling, to packing, to cooling and shrinkage and warpage
Quickly generate, simulate and analyze many design alternatives. Automate sensitivity analysis and find an optimal configuration, using VARIMOS
Includes UnWarp: Generate mold compensations and high-res results exports for use in structural simulation, crash testing, 3D printing or virtual metrology
Work with all special methods

AUTOMATE AND OPTIMIZE

OPTIMIZE-IT!

OPTIMIZE-IT! includes the functionality of WARP-IT! and adds our powerful automation and optimization tool VARIMOS.

VARIMOS is a great way to work much more efficiently than with traditional one-by-one simulation. Find better solutions, faster.

If you do not need many special processes, and want to work much more efficiently than with manual one-by-one simulation, this is the right package for you.

Simulate everything from filling, to packing, to cooling and shrinkage & warpage
Quickly generate, simulate and analyze many design alternatives. Automate sensitivity analysis and find an optimal configuration, using VARIMOS.

SHRINKAGE AND WARPAGE

WARP-IT!

WARP-IT! simulates the core steps of every injection molding project, from filling, to packing, cooling, and shrinkage and warpage.

This package is an economical way to cover the simulation needs of most common needs of injection molding professionals.

Anticipate filling problems like hot spots, air traps, burn marks etc.
Find the right gate locations
Work with multi-stage / cascadic injeciton
Work with multi-cavity molds
Minimize shrinkage & warpage
Run multiple simulations in parallel, using the batch module
