Validate extrusion quality for films, sheets, and complex profiles, including recycled materials and co-extrusion, while reducing production-phase errors.

Polymer profiles: from flow behavior to final quality

Simcenter Inspire Extrude Polymer supports complete simulation of polymer extrusion processes, helping designers and engineers predict defects and optimize the process from the earliest development stages. The working environment allows rapid system setup, CAD import, and real-time testing of different extrusion conditions.

Environmental considerations and recycling

Polymer manufacturing is increasingly evaluated in terms of environmental impact. Inspire Extrude Polymer enables users to include recycled materials or biopolymers in simulation models, assessing their extrusion behavior in terms of viscosity, cooling, and surface quality. This capability allows companies to design products that are not only high-performance, but also sustainable, anticipating environmental regulations and evolving market demands.
