Autodesk Moldflow has always been able to simulate rapid heating and cooling in the molding process. In Moldflow 2016, we partnered with RocTool, a leading provider of induction heating technology, to expand our simulation support of electromagnetic heating of the mold. This video walks you through this new capability.
Traditional molding processes can create visible defects that increase finishing costs and limit design possibilities. Roctool induction Heat & Cool molding technology enables precise mold temperature control to improve surface quality, enhance texture replication, and reduce post-processing requirements in industrial manufacturing.
Roctool and Trexel are introducing a new approach to lightweight injection molding by combining Heat & Cool molding with MuCell® technology. The production-ready solution helps manufacturers achieve premium surface finishes, improved flow performance, reduced material usage, and lighter high-quality plastic parts for advanced industrial applications.
With more than 25 years of expertise, Roctool continues to advance thermoplastic composite molding through innovative induction heating technologies and strong material partnerships. The company supports manufacturers seeking high-performance composites, precise surface finishes, complex geometries, and efficient processing for demanding industrial applications.
