Moldflow Plastics Insight - Enterprise Edition, allows users to further optimise their plastics injection moulding design-to-manufacturing process.
Over 30 companies licensed Moldflow Plastics Insight - Enterprise Edition (MPI-e) during during the fiscal quarter ended 31st December, 2007.
This brings the total number of companies that have licensed MPI-e in just its first year of availability to 100.
Existing Moldflow customers such as Robert Bosch Corporation, TRW Automotive Electronics and Components Valeo Iluminacion and LG Electronics extended their deployment of Moldflow simulation by nvesting in Moldflow Plastics Insight - Enterprise Edition, allowing them to further optimise their plastics injection moulding design-to-manufacturing process.
Moldflow Plastics Insight (MPI) is the world's most widely used plastics simulation software for the in-depth analysis of the injection moulding process and it can be used to predict and solve potential manufacturing problems before they are encountered in a production environment.
Moldflow Plastics Insight - Enterprise Edition is a specially packaged version of the MPI software that provides broad access to the wide-ranging functionality included in the MPI suite of products.
MPI-e allows companies to extend the benefits of simulation across their enterprise because it meets the five-key criteria of enterprise-enabled simulation solutions - it's accessible, configurable, process-integrated, communication-focused and can be strategically implemented.
Brian Belknap, Principal Staff Tooling Engineer at Motorola said "MPI-e has given all of our design centres the flexibility to access the complete suite of Moldflow analysis tools".
"The MPI-e Dashboard allows our internal Moldflow community to view which licenses are available and easily access the task level which is needed".
"We developed MPI-e in direct response to customers looking for a framework aimed at giving greater accessibility to our products more broadly across their enterprises", said Ken Welch, Chief Operating Officer for Moldflow.
"We continue to see growing recognition throughout the markets we serve that broader adoption of simulation is providing greater benefits to our customers and we are pleased to be able to provide a product such as MPI-e that can contribute to achieving those benefits".
