Altair Inspire Mold™

Streamline plastic injection moulding with Altair Inspire Mold™ — an all-in-one solution for creating, analysing, and optimising mould designs. Identify defects, improve part quality, and reduce production costs with a simple, intuitive workflow.

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.

Manufacturing Analysis Altair Inspire™ Mold

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.
