Altair Inspire Mold
What is Altair Inspire Mold™?
Altair Inspire Mold™ is a comprehensive software solution for plastic injection moulding, enabling users to analyse the entire moulding process — from mould creation to filling, packing, cooling, and warpage analysis. This integrated platform allows for the early detection and resolution of defects, reducing costly design changes and production waste.
Designed to support a wide range of users, from product designers to process engineers, Altair Inspire Mold offers a user-friendly interface and an intuitive workflow.
By simulating and predicting common defects such as warping, short shots, air traps, sink marks, and weld lines, users can optimise their designs and achieve higher production efficiency. With access to the Altair Material Data Center, users can accurately simulate different material properties, including fibre orientation for reinforced parts.
Whether you’re working with simple moulds or complex multi-cavity systems, Altair Inspire Mold ensures you can validate and perfect your design before production begins.

Key features of Altair Inspire Mold™
Altair Inspire Mold™ is packed with industry-leading features that make it easy to design, analyse, and optimise plastic injection moulding processes. From quick mould creation to advanced defect detection, these features ensure every production run is a success.
Mould Creation
Easily create complex moulds directly from 3D part geometry. Altair Inspire Mold™ enables users to generate negative cavity moulds and configure essential mould features such as runner systems, gate locations, and air vents. The platform supports the design of single and multi-cavity systems, sprues, and inserts, providing a complete mould design toolkit.
With intuitive design options, users can test multiple configurations quickly, optimise designs for manufacturing, and ensure smooth material flow throughout the injection process.
Material Database
Leverage the comprehensive material database from the Altair Material Data Center to enhance simulation accuracy. Users can simulate fibre orientation for reinforced plastic parts and better understand how different material properties affect moulding outcomes.
With data on materials like thermoplastics, resins, and composites, users can make precise decisions on material selection, improving product performance and reducing production risks.
Understand Potential Defects
Altair Inspire Mold™ identifies and resolves common injection moulding defects early in the design process. Users can analyse and predict issues like air traps, weld lines, short shots (non-fills), jetting, and sink marks before production begins.
By providing clear visualisation of potential defects, the software empowers engineers to make adjustments, optimise mould designs, and improve product quality. The result? Reduced material waste, fewer production errors, and faster time to market.

Altair Inspire Mold is a manufacturing simulation software focused on analysing and validating plastic injection moulding processes. It allows engineers to simulate mould filling, packing, and cooling behaviour to assess part quality before production.
Altair Inspire Mold is used to simulate injection moulding processes to evaluate how molten plastic flows into a mould, fills cavities, and cools. Engineers use it to identify potential defects early in the design and tooling stages.
Altair Inspire Mold helps identify issues such as incomplete filling, weld lines, air traps, sink marks, and warpage. This enables engineers to address potential quality problems before tooling is manufactured.
Altair Inspire Mold supports mould and part design by allowing engineers to validate gate locations, part geometry, and process settings digitally. This helps improve mould performance and part quality before physical trials.
Altair Inspire Mold is commonly used by product designers, manufacturing engineers, and tooling engineers involved in plastic part design and injection moulding processes.
Altair Inspire Mold is designed to be used early in the design process. It allows engineers to assess moulding feasibility and potential defects before finalising part geometry or investing in tooling.
Altair Inspire Mold is typically used during part design validation and process planning stages. It helps teams reduce trial-and-error during moulding and supports more predictable manufacturing outcomes.
Altair Inspire Mold helps reduce moulding defects, supports better process understanding, and improves confidence in plastic part manufacturability through digital validation.
Altair Inspire Mold is part of the broader Altair Inspire platform and can be used alongside other Inspire tools to support design and manufacturing decisions across the product lifecycle.
