Crystalization simulation software
SIGMA-crystallisation
Sigma Engineering GmbH
SIGMA-crystallization displays this behavior. The crystallization simulation has three advantages:
1. A consistently accurate calculation of the shrinkage & warpage for semicrystalline thermoplastics and the important shrinkage mechanism is understood and considered.
2. The crystallization process is transparent and can be visualized. The crystallization rate of a part after ejection and complete cooling down is shown as well as those areas where high cooling rates impeded the complete crystallization. This is a clear indicator for post shrinkage.
3. If there is a high probability for post shrinkage then the production cycle needs to be changed or a tempering process should be considered.
