Moldflow Corporation (NASDAQ: MFLO) and Missler Software today announced the signing of an agreement that allows Missler Software to resell a version of Moldflow Plastics Advisers® (MPA®) software that has been integrated with the TopSolid® range of CAD/CAM software. The integration combines Moldflow''s easy-to-use plastics simulation software with TopSolid''Mold 2008, which is ideal for designing plastic parts and injection molds. Using simulation technology in the early stages of part and mold design allows manufacturers to quickly evaluate the manufacturability of their designs so they can achieve the highest quality at the lowest cost in the shortest time to market.
"The integrated products introduce the benefits of plastics simulation directly to the desktops of the worldwide Missler Software user base," said Roland Thomas, President and CEO of Moldflow Corporation, "Adding the power of Moldflow technology to TopSolid offers users a plastics design optimization tool that can be used as a first step in determining the manufacturability, quality and cost of their injection molded plastic part and mold designs. We''ve seen that once companies experience the benefits of analysis in the early stages of new product development, they make it an indispensable step in their product creation strategy across their enterprise. Considering that TopSolid''Mold is one of the most highly regarded mold design products on the market today, we are happy to have worked closely with Missler Software on this project."
"Missler Software is pleased to partner with an industry leader such as Moldflow Corporation," said Christian Arber, CEO of Missler Software. "In order to achieve efficiencies and accelerate product delivery in today''s competitive global market, manufacturers are being driven to employ simulation across their enterprises to optimize their designs. It is simulation products from Moldflow like the Part Adviser™ and Mold Adviser™ that quickly provide companies with the information necessary early enough in product development cycles to have a positive impact on their bottom line."
