Autodesk features three demonstration stations at NPE2018. One focuses on Moldflow Insight and Moldflow Helius, another on Moldflow for Design and the third on manufacturing.
Moldflow Insight is a complete set of plastics engineering simulation tools for analysts. Helius Composite software offers detailed information on composite material behavior without finite element analysis. Moldflow Adviser is a plastic simulation tool that optimizes part and mold designs to ensure molded part quality and manufacturability. PowerMill CAM software provides milling strategies for high-speed and five-axis machining.
PowerMill offers a comprehensive range of tools to enable the manufacturing of molds, tools and other complex shapes and is capable of driving both wire-fed and powder-blown hardware with three- and five-axis machine motion. PowerMill also provides an improved workflow for the definition of open-sided 2D features. PowerMill also includes an interface to Autodesk Fusion Production, which is a cloud-based collaboration tool specializing in scheduling and tracking production.
