We usually live in the world of plastic injection moulding. NAFEMS DACH reminded us how much the broader simulation community has to offer. NAFEMS DACH 2026 comes to a close today and we are leaving with new connections and a lot of energy around where simulation is heading. The discussions with engineers who care deeply about getting simulation right made every conversation worthwhile. The highlight for us was taking the stage together with Emmi AI. Bastiaan Oud, our CEO, and Dennis Just from Emmi AI presented the Cadmould AI Solver to a room full of engineers, walking through what it means to combine classical numerical simulation with AI-powered speed and giving the audience a look at where we are taking this. The reaction in the room told us we are onto something real. A big thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth, asked hard questions, or just took five minutes to see the Cadmould AI Solver preview running live. That is exactly why we show up to events like this. See you at the next one.

Day 2 at TAGMA Die & Mould India is officially underway, and we are ready for another busy day of great conversations and networking! 🇮🇳 Yesterday was packed with great conversations with industry professionals about the future of plastic injection moulding. We discussed everything from the latest developments in simulation technology to how teams can streamline their processes and bring high-quality products to market much faster. If you are at the exhibition today and want to see how modern, flexible simulation software can support your entire engineering workflow, come and meet our local experts. We are running live demonstrations of Cadmould Flex and would love to hear about your current projects and challenges. 📍 Find us in Hall 02, Booth H35. Drop by the booth and let’s connect!

The Cadmould AI Solver preview proves the speed. Now it is time to prove it on your own data. Since we launched the research preview of the Cadmould AI Solver, the most common question we hear from engineering leaders is: "This is incredibly fast on your benchmark parts. But can I test this on our geometries?" The answer is yes. We are officially opening applications for the Cadmould AI Solver Early Access Partner Program. AI-driven injection moulding simulation is a field where no one has decades of experience yet. The expertise is being built right now - and this program is how you get ahead. Here is what the Partner Program unlocks: 🤝 Direct line to the dev team: You get insight into the model development, and your feedback reaches the people building the AI Solver. You help shape what gets built. 🔒 Benchmarks on your parts: We run the Cadmould AI Solver on your geometries and compare results against the numerical solver. You see firsthand how the model performs on your domain - and how it improves as the model learns and as it extends to shrinkage and warpage. 🚀 First to the beta: When the AI Solver launches in Cadmould Flex, Early Access Partners are the first to get hands-on access - ahead of general availability. This is a research collaboration, not a software license. Partners start with benchmarks and direct exchange today, and move to hands-on testing when the beta goes live in Cadmould Flex. We are selecting partners based on technical fit and engineering readiness. If your team is ready to get ahead and be part of shaping the future of injection moulding simulation, we want to hear from you. Apply for the Partner Program via the link in the comments below. 👇

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞. Last week, we officially unveiled the Cadmould AI Solver. Today, the news of our 1000x speed breakthrough is spreading from Europe to the US. It is fantastic to see leading industry voices like PlasticsToday in North America and K-PROFI in Germany highlighting the technology. Both publications zeroed in on the exact paradigm shift we set out to achieve with our partners at Emmi AI. Large Engineering Models are fundamentally slashing injection moulding simulation times. For decades, engineers had to accept lengthy computation as the price for high-fidelity physics. You ran a simulation, and you waited. Now, the media is reporting on the new reality. By running our transformer-based AI Solver, engineers are receiving real-time feedback on pressure, temperature, and shear rates in seconds. We are shifting the entire global workflow from linear validation to high-velocity exploration, allowing teams to explore up to 10,000 design alternatives in a single day. A huge thank you to the editorial teams at PlasticsToday and K-AKTUELL for covering this milestone for the manufacturing industry. You can find links to the articles in the comments 👇

You can tell an engineer that a simulation runs 1000x faster. But watching their reaction when they actually see it happen live? That is something else. We just wrapped up Day 2 at Plastics Technology Expo (PTXPO) in Chicago, just one day after officially launching the Cadmould AI Solver to the world. We have spent the last two days running live, real-time demonstrations of the world’s first Large Engineering Model for plastic injection moulding. And the feedback has been absolutely incredible. In our industry, engineers are used to hitting "Run," getting up to grab a coffee, and hoping the results are ready when they get back. So, when we showed visitors at our booth that they could adjust a melt temperature slider and watch the filling pattern, pressure, and shear rates update in seconds... the most common reaction was simply: "Wait... did it just calculate that?" Yes. It did. By shifting the heavy lifting to a transformer-based AI architecture trained on millions of validated data points, we have completely removed the computation bottleneck. No more waiting. Just instant, high-velocity design exploration. If you are at PTXPO today, come by booth 1123 and test the Cadmould AI Solver yourself. Let’s talk about how this fits into your workflow alongside Cadmould Flex. And if you aren't in Chicago? You don't have to miss out. We have a live research preview running right now. You can test-drive the AI Solver on our website.
