Matrix Moulding Systems Ltd has just launched a new patent protected ultrasonic melt flow enhancement system for thermoplastic injection moulding, which is a simple retro-fit to many of the moulding machines in the UK. Our first order followed demonstration trials for a large moulding group, validating 27% energy and 20% cycle time improvements. We are keen to promote the technology, but most potential customers are running strict site COVID-19 access restrictions to help safeguard their workforce and our sales process typically involves running moulding trials, necessitating physical presence of both the customer's and our staff. This project is to establish the feasibility to introduce our technology into an industry standard flow simulation software, enabling us to demonstrate our technology in a remote, digital, non-person-to-person environment.Many plastics industry commentators predict an impact on business operations over the next 6 months due to COVID-19, with a decrease in turnover and export. Using our technology to improve injection moulding efficiency and sustainably could enhance UK GDP growth and generate jobs, contributing to recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.It is commonplace to run injection flow simulations using CAD and FEA models to establish moulding parameters, often with several iterations needed to optimize the process. Having presented the technology to an industry leader in flow simulation, we now have a better understanding of the range of parameters required to successfully integrate it into their simulation software and this feasibility project is to gather the relevant data set, seeking to present it in a format that enables its integration into their system. The feasibility will be demonstrated through moulding back-to-back trials with and without our flow enhancement technology being used, comparing results to those predicted by the simulation package.

Matrix Moulting Systems Ltd刚刚推出了用于热塑性注塑成型的新专利受保护的超声熔体流量增强系统，这是英国许多模制机的简单恢复。我们的第一阶进行了大型成型组的示范试验，验证了27％的能量和20％的周期时间改进。我们热衷于推广这项技术，但是大多数潜在客户正在运行严格的网站Covid-19访问限制，以帮助维护其员工队伍，而我们的销售过程通常涉及进行成型试验，因此必须在客户和我们的员工的实际存在中存在。该项目是为了确定将我们的技术引入行业标准流量模拟软件的可行性，使我们能够在远程，数字，非人与人的环境中证明我们的技术。许多塑料行业评论员预测，由于COVID-19，由于Covid-19，在未来6个月内对业务运营产生了影响，并减少了失误和出口。利用我们的技术提高注入成型效率和可持续性可以增强英国GDP的增长并创造就业机会，从而有助于从COVID-19大流行中恢复。它很常见地使用CAD和FEA模型来建立成型参数，通常需要进行几种迭代，并需要几种迭代来进行最佳。在流动模拟的行业领导者中介绍了该技术后，我们现在可以更好地了解成功将其集成到其仿真软件中所需的参数范围，并且该可行性项目是收集相关数据集，以寻求以将其集成为系统的格式。可行性将通过与我们使用流动增强技术的背靠背试验进行演示，将结果与模拟软件包预测的结果进行比较。
