What is Altair Inspire PolyFoam™?
Altair Inspire PolyFoam™ is a powerful simulation tool designed to replicate the expansion process of polyurethane foams — both rigid and flexible.
With a simple five-step workflow, users can evaluate product manufacturability, reduce production defects, and optimise manufacturing processes before physical moulds are created.
The simulation process includes key stages such as injection, filling, foaming, curing, and cooling, giving engineers full control over the manufacturing process.
By predicting potential issues like shrinkage, porosity, and air traps early in the design cycle, manufacturers can avoid costly rework, reduce waste, and accelerate product development.

Key features of Altair Inspire PolyFoam™
Altair Inspire PolyFoam™ is packed with essential features that help users perfect their foam manufacturing process. From simulating complex injection processes to accessing a vast materials database, users have everything they need to streamline production and prevent costly defects.

Understanding Your Process
Altair Inspire PolyFoam™ provides users with a clear understanding of the entire foam expansion process. With in-depth process visualisation, users can validate manufacturing scenarios, simulate foam injection direction, and evaluate moving gates, vents, and inserts. This holistic process approach ensures better product quality and minimises production risks.

Material Availability
Altair Inspire PolyFoam™ gives users access to a large, built-in material database of industry-standard foam materials. Additionally, users can add proprietary materials, enabling fully customised simulations. This flexibility allows manufacturers to experiment with different material combinations and evaluate performance under different production conditions.

Avoid Costly Defects
Identify and resolve potential manufacturing issues before production begins. Altair Inspire PolyFoam™ detects defects like air traps, shrinkage, porosity, turn-up, and weld lines during the simulation process. By addressing these issues early, manufacturers can reduce costly errors, avoid production delays, and improve overall product quality.
