December SimTech™ Challenge Wrap Up

Amazingly Alexandru Crai of OMS Besser Group once again clinched first place for this month’s SimTech Injection Molding challenge. Congratulations Alexandru! Following close behind is our two-time champion, Johnny Ash, who placed second, and coming in at third is new competitor, Ryan Lane of Millar Industries.  Mr. Crai and Mr. Ash were the only two competitors who scored in the 130s, an amazing feat! Congratulations to our winners and to all who participated.

This month’s featured setup is by Alexandru Crai of OMS Besser Group. Here’s what our expert challenge developers had to say about this month’s challenge:

The part in this challenge was flashing and had sink marks. The technique for solving this problem setup required addressing the flash issue first. Doing so was crucial, since this part problem creates a high probability of tool damage which is very expensive to fix.

Congratulations winners and all who participated!

  • 2nd place –Johnny Ash, Preformed Line Products  – Score: 130.108

Having Fun with our Competitions?

Imagine the team of skilled molders you could create if SimTech was in your plant 24-7? Your employees could be improving their molding expertise in a safe, low-cost environment, building critical thinking and troubleshooting skills. And you can stage your own friendly in-house competitions.  It’s proven, molding simulation is the best and most cost-effective way to become a better molder. You don’t want your employees making their mistakes or trying new techniques on the production floor at an actual machine—now that’s a costly way to learn. The simulation of complex processes is quickly becoming the gold standard of skill development. SimTech is the answer for injection molding.

Here’s just a few of the applications you can employ with SimTech:

Hiring Qualified Employees – Before hiring a potential employee, test their knowledge and skills with problem solving exercises in Simtech.

Technician Promotion – Give your candidates for promotion a test before you make that decision.

In-plant Competitions to promote learning and discussion – Have your own competitions amongst your team. Have a discussion on what process settings work and why.
