THERMOFORMING
AND BLOW MOLDING SIMULATION
WITH PAM-FORM FOR PLASTICS

KEY BENEFITS
. Predict forming issues earlier in
the production cycle
. Optimize the thermoforming
process and tool design
. Improve material selection
. Foster innovation
. Overall cost savings and
reduced time to market

TYPICAL
A P P L I C AT I O N S
. Food & drink packaging
. Pharmaceutical and electronics
articles
. Automotive interior panels

PAM-FORM is the pioneering virtual


manufacturing software dedicated
to non-metallic forming processes,
developed
through
industrial
partnerships and projects in various
fields such as automotive, aerospace
and consumer goods.

Automotive application example:


Dashboard Thermoforming

PAM-FORM for Plastics extends the


thermoforming simulation frontier
from a simple formability evaluation
to a complete virtual thermoforming
solution for industrial use. It provides
unsurpassed productivity gains and
flexibility for formability evaluation
and process validation.
PAM-FORM simulates the entire
forming process, making it possible
to prove thermoforming tools and
processes on computer, before any
hardware is built.
With PAM-FORM, you can produce
validated results (wrinkles, splits if
any, final thickness), which up until
now could be obtained only by actual
tryout, thus producing all answers

Typical results on a fridge innerliner:

required to build hard tooling with confidence. By carrying


out these simulations, through successive refinements
of forming conditions or geometry, your hard tools will
require only fine-tuning before a successful production run.

Wrinkling

PAM-FORM enables you diagnosing and solving


manufacturing problems in your design, as well as
correcting and preventing wrinkling and excessive
thinning while improving your tooling.
Thickness distribution

PAM-FORM provides the designers and process engineers


with the following help:
. Correct: analyze an existing tooling to improve design
and process, reduce the scrap rate and meet product
design criteria.
. Prevent: analyze a new design to predict design flaws
before tooling takes place, avoiding costly formability
problems and time and money spent re-tooling.
PAM-FORM is fully compatible with ESIs simulation
software portfolio for virtual manufacturing and
performance testing, hence, keeping the manufacturing
history of the calculation run, you can make use of the
results for further analysis. For instance, while performing
thermoforming simulation, thickness results can be kept
for static and/or dynamic loading application for as
built design analysis.
