Moldflow develops plastic injection molding software.
Buckling is the conversion of in-plane membrane energy to bending energy and usually involves large deformations of the part. It is the principle mode of failure of a planar thin structure under excessive in-plane loading.

A burn mark is a defect that appears as a brown or black mark on the part surface. A burn mark can be caused by an un-vented air trap. This occurs when the trapped air is heated very quickly as it is compressed, burning the surrounding plastic. Velocity profiling is often used to prevent this problem, by giving air more time to escape from the mold.

Computer-Aided Design (CAD) is the process of using computer software programs to design parts, tools, molds, and assemblies.
Industry:Software
Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM), is the use of computers and computer technology to control, manage, operate, and monitor manufacturing processes.
Industry:Software
The cavity is the region within the mold that fills with plastic to form the part.

A center gate is a gate which is located in the center of the part. It can be a sprue (direct) gate or pinpoint gate.
Industry:Software
A point whose coordinates are the average of the coordinates of a given set of points and which for a given planar or three-dimensional figure (as a triangle or sphere) corresponds to the center of mass.
Industry:Software
A check ring is the sliding ring of the non-return valve on the front of the screw. The check ring allows melted plastic to flow forward to the front of the screw during plastication, and prevents flow back into the screw during injection. The check ring is a high wear item that can leak during injection, effectively reducing the pressure that is applied to the melted plastic.

A chiller is a self-contained system comprised of a refrigeration unit and a coolant circulation mechanism consisting of a reservoir and a pump. Chillers maintain optimal heat balance by constantly recirculating chilled cooling fluids to injection molds.
Industry:Software
Clamp capacity is a measure of the largest projected area of cavities and runners that an injection molding machine can safely hold closed at full molding pressure.
