Optimizing the Plastics Design Journey

August 03, 2021 |

By using Autodesk Design Simulation early in the process, you’ll see how designs can be optimized for both materials and manufacturing, so that the part designed is the part that is received - saving time and money.

Successfully designing plastics components can be one of the most challenging activities an engineer can face. Maximizing the available design space can be overwhelming, and planning the design and materials to work within the manufacturing process are all part of the art of optimization.

By the end of this webinar you will be able to see how you can optimize your design early in the process to help you make effective decisions.

In this webinar we’ll show you:

  • How simulation can be used to reduce manufacturing risk
  • How designing with manufacturing in mind can optimize performance
  • How to directly get from art to part without iterative changes
