Autodesk Simulation Moldflow provides a variety of databases for you to select materials from. These databases include materials for parts, molds, and more.
Topics in this section
Part materials
There are many different types and grades of plastics available. The end use of the part can help determine the most suitable plastic for a given application.
Mold material
Plastic injection molds can be manufactured from a variety of metal and metal alloys. The material properties of a range of different metals are listed in the Autodesk Simulation Moldflow material database so that the impact of the material that the mold is made is of can be taken into account.
Coolants
Coolants are the fluids that flow through the cooling channels of a mold to extract heat from the system.
