Molding Analysis
We optimize every step of injection molding using precise analysis technology to ensure high-quality products.
Based on the analytic results, we improve product quality and maximize the efficiency of molds and processes
to provide optimized solutions tailored to customer requirements.
-
Flow Analysis
We analyze the process of filling cavities with resin to predict and prevent problems such as flow imbalance, weld lines, bubbles, and step-outs.
This ensures uniform appearance and strength, and we design the optimal gate position and resin flow to improve the molding stability of products. -
Packing Analysis
We analyze volume shrinkage and internal stress during the packing phase after injection to minimize flash and sink marks.
We set appropriate packing conditions to optimize mold clamping force and pressure, ensuring dimensional stability and maintaining consistent product quality. -
Cooling Analysis
We analyze the cooling phase, which takes the most time in injection molding, to maximize cooling efficiency.
We apply optimal cooling lines and baffle designs to minimize temperature variation, shorten cycle times, and increase productivity. We prevent deformation caused by uneven cooling in advance to improve product precision. -
Warpage Analysis
We predictively minimize product warping and shrinkage after molding to ensure dimensional accuracy.
With the precise analysis, we control deformation factors from the product design stage to deliver high-quality molded products and solutions optimized to customer requirements.
Structural Analysis
Based on precise structural analysis, we optimize strength, rigidity, fatigue life, and thermal deformation to maximize product
durability and performance. We aim for optimal designs that ensure stability and achieve lightweighting and cost reduction.

Bumper Impact Analysis
Linear analysis and optimal design are performed to ensure low-speed collision safety of bumpers.
We perform pendulum tests at collision speeds of 4.25 KPH and 2.6 KPH to meet regulatory and customer requirements, and precisely analyze impact energy absorption and deformation behavior.
Collision analysis improves bumper durability, minimizes damage, and optimizes restoration performance to ensure design reliability prior to actual vehicle testing. -
Stiffness Analysis
Deformation analysis is performed under external forces of 10 to 15 kgf to ensure structural stability and product quality.
Factors potentially reducing rigidity are analyzed in advance, and optimal designs are applied to minimize deformation and improve durability, thereby enhancing product reliability. -
Thermal Deformation Analysis
We analyze the deformation behavior of products in high- and low-temperature environments to perform thermal deformation analysis.
Based on this analysis, Plakor makes design improvements to ensure minimized deformation, stable appearance quality, and further reliability. -
Free Motion Headform Impact Analysis
FMH analysis is used to evaluate occupant protection and analyze head injury criteria (HIC) in the event of a collision. Impact mitigation structures are optimized to apply designs that meet regulations and safety standards and improve pedestrian safety.
In particular, the analysis is performed to meet North American FMVSS 201 performance requirements to implement designs that comply with global safety standards.
