- Predict and optimize part performance under real-life operating loads.
- Redesign parts for optimal stiffness with minimal shrinkage or warpage.
- Model your compression molding process to determine optimum processing conditions.
- Incorporate design changes very early in the development stage.
Need to validate your design before production? Want to eliminate prototyping? Simulate the molding process before costly tooling by taking advantage of our plastics expertise, years of practical experience, and sophisticated analyses tools (including Cadpress®).

- Which structural properties would give this product optimum strength and stiffness?
- Can we relocate or eliminate knitlines?
- Is it possible to make the design and molding process faster, easier, more robust?
- Will we experience convergent flows or other problems during filling?

"The Madison Group handles our new project flow analyses. We use them because they do such a large volume of modeling for a variety of industries, making them rather quick at it and rather proficeient. They completed a project that brought us major cost reductions."
Steve Crawford, Project Engineer for Engines, DaimlerChrysler

- Are not performing as designed
- Keep breaking
- Have excessive shrinkage and warpage
- Are not filling correctly
- Show fiber damage during molding
- Are damaged by excessive heating
