TDC and Virtual Factory

Predictive tolerance analysis for better product design

How can you check whether a product design, its dimensions and its manufacturing approach will work before making physical trial parts?

In this webinar, Bill Torris shows how Nolato's Virtual Factory brings simulation and manufacturing expertise together to evaluate plastic component designs before production. The process can include design and drawing reviews, mould-flow analysis, structural, functional and assembly simulations, and predictive tolerance analysis.

By digitally testing dimensions, tolerances and measurement strategies, teams can identify potential issues and refine designs earlier. The analysis can also connect product design with mould and process considerations, helping teams make better informed decisions before industrialisation. 

Reducing reliance on repeated physical trials can help save development time and cost, and avoid some material use.

Eco Design

Consider the broader lifecycle

The webinar explores how design decisions can be considered across the lifecycle, from raw material and production to product use and end of life.

Glenn Svedberg walks us through how design decisions can be considered across the product lifecycle. From raw materials and production to product use and end of life, topics include selecting the right plastic grade for the application, reducing product weight, and exploring recycled or bio-based feedstocks.

The discussion also considers production energy, efficient moulding processes, product lifetime, and design choices that may support repair, refurbishment, disassembly and recycling. These factors can help teams compare options and make more informed choices. The right approach depends on the product's requirements and intended use.

By involving TDC early, teams can explore design and manufacturing decisions before moving into production while considering their wider lifecycle impact.
