Mouldflow price estimator

Fast price indication based on volume, complexity, simulation type and DOE.

Note: This is an indicative estimate. Final price may depend on data quality, CAD state, material data and delivery scope.

  • Includes a short report
  • Includes an online review meeting

Choosing the simulation type.

Fill → defines flow & orientation
Pack → defines density & shrinkage
Cool → defines temperature distribution
Warp → is the final result of all three
DOE → complex / uncertain case

Fill

Fill + Pack

Fill + Pack + Cool + Warp (Full)

Use when you need a quick feasibility check.
Typical use: early concept stage, DFM review, or when geometry is still changing.

Questions it answers:

Can the part be filled?
Where will the flow go?
Are there air traps or weld lines?

Limitations:

Does not predict shrinkage, sinks, or warpage
Only evaluates flow behaviour

Use when you need to evaluate quality risk and process behaviour.
Typical use: design optimization, gate design, wall thickness decisions.

Questions it answers:

Can the part be filled AND properly packed?
Will there be sink marks or voids?
Are pressure levels acceptable?

Limitations:

Cooling effects are not included
Warpage and final shape cannot be trusted

Use when you need final validation before tooling.
Typical use: final design approval, risk assessment, tolerance verification.

Questions it answers:

What will the final part look like?
Will it meet flatness and tolerance requirements?
Is cooling sufficient and stable?

This is the only level that shows real part behaviour (deformation, shrinkage, warpage).

Checklist explainer

Fill + Pack

Fill + Pack + Cooling + Warp

Wall Thickness Variation (Thick/Thin Zones)
Large differences in wall thickness that can cause uneven cooling, shrinkage, and warpage.

Ribs / Snap Features
Structural ribs or snap-fit elements used for stiffness or assembly, which may introduce flow hesitation, sink marks, or local stress.

Thin Walls / Flow Risk (Long Flow Paths)
Very thin sections combined with long flow lengths increase the risk of short shots, high pressure, and incomplete filling.

Complex Gating (Multiple Gates / Valve Gates)
Use of several or controlled gates increases complexity in flow balance, weld lines, and process control.

Inserts / Overmoulding
Integration of metal or other components into the moulded part, adding complexity in filling, bonding, and thermal behavior.

High Cosmetic Requirements
Parts with strict surface quality demands where even minor defects (weld lines, sinks, flow marks) are unacceptable.

Packing-Sensitive Design (Sink / Void Risk)
Geometry highly dependent on packing pressure, where insufficient packing can lead to sink marks, voids, or internal defects.

Challenging Material (e.g. Glass-Filled, High Shrink Variation)
Materials with complex behaviour (anisotropy, fibre orientation, shrink variation) that increase the risk of warpage and dimensional instability.

Tight Tolerances / Deformation Critical
Designs with strict dimensional tolerances where even small deformation or shrinkage variation can lead to functional failure.

Complex Cooling Design (Many Circuits / Conformal Cooling)
Moulds requiring advanced cooling layouts to control temperature distribution, affecting cycle time, warpage, and process stability.

Warp / Flatness Critical (Assembly / Tolerance Stack)
Parts where flatness or warpage directly impacts assembly fit or tolerance stack-up, making deformation control essential.

Fibre Orientation Sensitivity (GF/CF Materials)
Performance strongly influenced by fibre alignment, leading to anisotropic shrinkage, stiffness variation, and warpage risk.

Disclaimer – Price Estimator

This price estimator provides a preliminary indication based on typical project parameters such as volume, complexity, simulation type, and DOE scope.

All results are indicative and intended for budgeting and comparison purposes only. The final project price may vary depending on several factors, including but not limited to:

-CAD quality and level of detail
-Material selection and data availability
-Project scope and required deliverables
-Design changes during the project
-Simulation complexity beyond initial assumptions

The estimator does not constitute a binding quotation or offer. A formal proposal will be provided upon detailed review of the project data.
