MPL-150 (Full Characterization)
Autodesk Moldflow Filling, Packing, Shrinkage, and Warpage
This package includes the most comprehensive material testing, and is recommended for those who are looking to have the best possible data for the most accurate simulations in any analysis type. $7,545*
Includes: Shear Viscosity by IMR, Specific Heat (including transition and ejection temperatures), Thermal Conductivity, PvT, CLTE and Mechanical, Shrinkage Analysis (CRIMS), Mold Validation. Supplemental Data: N/A
MPL-135
Autodesk Moldflow Filling, Packing, and Shrinkage
For use with a full warpage simulation, but your CLTE and Mechanical data is tested internally. If provided, we will include the CLTE and Mechanical data in your final material file. $6,195*
Includes: Shear Viscosity by IMR, Specific Heat (including transition and ejection temperatures), Thermal Conductivity, PvT, Shrinkage Analysis (CRIMS), Mold Validation. Supplemental Data: Mechanical (if not provided)
MPL-130 (Full Characterization – 3D only)
Autodesk Moldflow Filling, Packing, 3D Shrinkage and Warpage
Recommended for full warpage simulations using ONLY 3D analyses. In Moldflow software, 3D analysis currently uses the uncorrected residual stress model which does not utilize tested shrinkage data (CRIMS). $4,095*
Includes: Shear Viscosity by IMR, Specific Heat (including transition and ejection temperatures), Thermal Conductivity, PvT, CLTE and Mechanical, Mold Validation. Supplemental Data: N/A
MPL-125
Autodesk Moldflow Filling and Packing
Recommended primarily for pressure predictions in the mold filling simulation. Further characterization is necessary for more in-depth simulation analyses. $3,045*
Includes: Shear Viscosity by IMR, Specific Heat (including transition and ejection temperatures), Thermal Conductivity, PvT, Mold Validation. Supplemental Data: Mechanical
MPL-110
Autodesk Moldflow Filling
Most often used for material development, specifically for understanding the affect of formulation changes on thermal and rheological properties. The final material formulation should be characterized further for optimal simulation results. $1,550*
Includes: Shear Viscosity by IMR, Specific Heat (including transition and ejection temperatures), Thermal Conductivity, Mold Validation. Supplemental Data: PvT and Mechanical
