Foam Expo Europe is the largest free trade show and conference for engineered foams and their manufacturing processes in Europe. Together with its sister event Adhesives & Bonding Expo Europe, which takes place at the same venue, it offers visitors an excellent opportunity to meet face-to-face across the supply chain. The show provides an opportunity to meet new technologies, business partners and industry experts. The event is held mainly in English.
Our experts from the »Flow and Material Simulation« department will be on site to provide information about our research. In addition, our colleague Dr. Dariusz Niedziela will give a presentation about the foam activities of the »Flow and Material Simulation« department, in particular the FOAM software, on 07.12.2023 at 11 am.
The FOAM software simulates the manufacturing process of foams. It serves as a digital twin for foam foaming processes and can be used in various applications such as shock absorbers, acoustic and thermal insulation, and seating structures. FOAM provides a user-friendly interface, pre-processing tools for CAD data, automatic parameter identification from foaming experiments and supports various foams. It enables the design and optimization of foam components, foaming tools, and simulation of processes such as RIM infiltration of foam. FOAM can predict complex mold filling requirements, including venting, injector position, and material quantities.
