Warpage Analysis

Understand not only where deformation occurs, but why.

Warpage analysis goes beyond displacement maps. We identify and quantify the individual contributions of each warpage cause.

Differential Shrinkage

Non-uniform material contraction across the part due to pressure and thickness variations.

Differential Cooling

Temperature asymmetry between mold halves causing uneven shrinkage through thickness.

Molecular Orientation

Flow-induced alignment of polymer chains creating directional shrinkage differences.

Fiber Orientation

For reinforced materials, fiber alignment creates anisotropic shrinkage behavior.

Geometry

Part geometry and stiffness variations affecting how internal stresses translate to deformation.

Processing Conditions

Melt temperature, mold temperature and packing influence shrinkage distribution.
