In plastics processing, tool and mould making and pump technology: at FAKUMA we spend 15 minutes talking about what goes wrong in the trial run – and show you what you could have known beforehand.
Let's start the conversation: IANUS Simulation at FAKUMA 2026 | Hall B4 | Stand 4405/4506 | 12–16 October
Injection molding
Evaluate thermal design, shrinkage and cycle time at an early stage. This makes the possible limits of the process visible before production starts.
Pumps
Analyse cavitation, flow behaviour and heat development under real pressure conditions.
Extrusion
Evaluate material changes, purging times as well as extrusion and strand lines by simulation before the next trial run on the machine begins.
Actionable recommendations
The simulation now delivers a standardised report that presents all relevant results in a consistent way and adds actionable recommendations. Because the format is standardised, several reports can be compared directly with one another – different variants of a component, for example, or several projects side by side. In addition, a management summary is created that brings all relevant results together on a single page. For you this means: less interpretation effort, a robust basis for approval and a result that can also be passed on to colleagues without a simulation background.
A correction loop costs more than time.
When a technical assumption is not disproved until the trial run, this often results in additional coordination, rework, material scrap and delays. At the same time, design and development are tied up even though the next task is already waiting.
Loss of time: Additional scenarios and correction loops can delay the project by several weeks. It is not unusual for a single correction loop to add three to five weeks of extra work.
Direct costs: Rework, scrap and blocked machine or tooling capacity put a strain on the project budget. A subsequent correction can be up to 10 x more expensive than a simulation before the first trial run.
Tied-up specialists: Designers and developers are busy troubleshooting instead of working on new tasks. Early simulation can free up five to ten times more capacity instead – without additional staff.
Decision risk: Misinterpretations can put a strain on follow-up orders and customer relationships.
At our stand, we'll clarify which of these risks can be checked in your case before the trial run.
Not to eliminate mistakes. But to show how a late insight becomes an earlier decision.
At BBM Maschinenbau und Vertriebs GmbH, simulation was used to better evaluate an extrusion process and the material change.
“We simply send the die geometry and the process point; the rest is handled by IANUS Simulation.”

At EWIKON Heißkanalsysteme GmbH, simulation has considerably reduced the effort required for the thermal assessment and optimisation of hot runner manifolds.
“The effort for a thermal optimisation of our hot runner manifolds has been reduced to a few mouse clicks.”

Discuss your use case with no obligation.
Plan your visit to IANUS
We start by listening, so we understand your current situation. Then we show you live how quickly a simulation comes together – including a look at real reports. You leave our stand with a clear assessment of your own case, whether or not it turns into a project.
Please note: In-person meetings are only possible with a prior appointment booking. So it is best to secure your slot right now.

Bring your technical question with you. We show you which risks can be made visible and easier to evaluate before the next trial run. Afterwards we carry out three free simulations for you.
