This whitepaper provides insights into current market challenges and needs, and primarily outlines a solution through our cloud-based platform StrömungsRaum®. With a user-friendly interface and flexible accessibility, the platform significantly shortens development times, reduces costs, and improves the quality of extrusion products.
Quality in extrusion starts with tool design
Uneven material flows, wall slip, dead zones, or inefficient tool geometries – all these can lead to quality problems, waste, and high production costs. At the same time, market demands are increasing: extrudates need to be produced faster, more cost-effectively, and in the highest quality.
Our answer: StrömungsRaum®
With our cloud-based platform StrömungsRaum®, you get a powerful tool that reduces development times, cuts costs, and sustainably enhances product quality. The user-friendly interface and flexible access make StrömungsRaum® a practical companion in tool development for plastic profiles, pipes, hoses, as well as multilayer films and profiles.
The key highlights
Enhancement of quality and efficiency
With precise design of extrusion tools through simulation, errors are detected early – even before the system is operated for the first time. This saves valuable machine capacities and enables optimal allocation of personnel and equipment resources for ongoing operations.
Cloud-based accessibility & HPC power
Our platform combines the flexibility of a fully cloud-based solution with the power of High-Performance Computing. Even complex and computationally intensive simulations run efficiently and parallelly. Access is possible from any internet-enabled device – whether smartphone, tablet, or laptop – and facilitates collaboration regardless of location.
Intuitive operation
Thanks to its user-friendly interface and full automation, simulations can be performed without expert knowledge. The platform integrates seamlessly into existing processes and promotes collaboration among all project participants.
