Beaumont Advanced Processing Introduces the MPL-156 Full Characterization Package

Accurate mold filling simulation requires precise material data. Beaumont Advanced Processing (BAP) is an Autodesk preferred laboratory for Moldflow Material Characterization. 

What the MPL-156 Package Does

The MPL-156 package provides comprehensive material testing for Autodesk Moldflow Filling, Packing, Shrinkage, and Warpage analyses. The testing protocol incorporates a full suite of variables, including:

• Shear Viscosity by Injection Molding Rheometer (IMR)
• Pressure Dependent Viscosity by IMR
• Extensional Viscosity
• Specific Heat
• Thermal Conductivity
• PvT
• CLTE and Mechanical properties
• Shrinkage Analysis (CRIMS/STAMP)
• Mold Validation

Why Complete Material Data Matters

Earning a Gold / Gold / Gold rating, MPL-156 delivers our full characterization with the addition of characterizing the D3 value in the Cross-WLF model to understand the influence of pressure on viscosity. Having this level of detail ensures the material file is fully complete for Autodesk Moldflow, providing the data needed for detailed analysis, especially for projects with amorphous materials or generally high pressures where viscosity could be impacted.

How It Improves Your Outcomes

Utilizing comprehensive material characterization leads to accurate results across all your analyses. Better data input translates directly to concrete improvements in your workflow, including:

• Reliable mold designs based on factual material behavior
• Reduced troubleshooting during physical production
• Consistent and repeatable part quality
