FlowHow® Leads the Way to Optimum Plastic Parts
The successful design and manufacture of plastic parts involves many factors which have to be fully integrated. The balance between function, production, and price is almost always a compromise. Very few designers have in-depth knowledge of the production process itself, and it is extremely difficult for them to fully consider all the complex combinations and ensure that they achieve the best compromise solution.

The FlowHow® personnel have sound practical experience in plastics and in the application of sophisticated simulation software. Most manufacturers have seen short shots, air traps, sink marks, voids, weak or visible weld lines, brittle parts, discolouration or warpage. The causes of such faults can all be identified with this combination of experience and technology and the most cost effective solutions can be determined before the mould exists. Modifying moulds is expensive once they are built and the presence of a physical mould invariably limits the potential solutions that can be considered.

The FlowHow® team is also able to analyse and optimize the cooling of the mould which will invariably minimize the cycle time and result in economic savings


The FlowHow® team offers assistance with anything from investigation of plastic parts and complete products to process simulation, structural analysis, and training in plastics design, from concept to the finished product. For FlowHow® it is a matter of getting the parts right the first time.
