SIMCON has introduced the Cadmould AI Solver, billed as the world’s first Large Engineering Model for injection moulding, co-developed with Emmi AI.
The new transformer-based architecture delivers simulation results up to 1000 times faster than traditional numerical solvers, fundamentally changing how many design variants engineers can explore during development.
Until now, long compute times have been a major bottleneck, limiting how many moulding scenarios engineers could realistically simulate. With Cadmould AI Solver, feedback on filling pattern, pressure, and temperature arrives in seconds instead of hours, allowing teams to evaluate vastly more design alternatives in the early stages of a project.
Importantly, the AI Solver is designed to work alongside, not replace, conventional numerical solvers. Engineers use the AI engine early on to scan the solution space and define an optimal process window, then rely on the classical solver within Cadmould Flex for the final, high-precision validation needed before manufacturing sign-off.
Powered by a transformer-based neural network trained on hundreds of terabytes of data, the AI Solver offers strong geometric generalization. It can accurately predict complex physical behaviour and filling patterns for completely new part geometries without retraining the model.
At the same time, SIMCON is inviting industrial users to join its Partner Program.
Participants gain early access to upcoming features such as shrinkage and warpage prediction while benchmarking the AI Solver on their own geometries in close collaboration with SIMCON’s engineering team, directly shaping future product enhancements.
Leadership Comment
“For decades, the industry has accepted that high-fidelity simulation requires hours of computation,” said Bastiaan Oud, CEO at SIMCON. “By introducing the Cadmould AI Solver, we are giving engineers a high-speed compass to use during the iterative design phase, while Cadmould Flex remains the definitive map for final validation. Together, they create an end-to-end workflow that is both incredibly fast and reliable.”
To mark the milestone, SIMCON has launched a free, interactive research preview accessible directly via web browser.
