We are pleased to announce the release of SIGMASOFT® Virtual Molding 6.2.

SIGMASOFT® is a powerful simulation platform for injection molding processes, enabling engineers and product developers to virtually analyze, optimize, and validate molding conditions before production.

With version 6.2, we continue to extend these capabilities by introducing new features that improve simulation accuracy, workflow efficiency, and result interpretation. Whether you are an existing user or exploring virtual molding solutions for the first time, this release demonstrates how SIGMASOFT® helps reduce development time, improve product quality, and support more confident engineering decisions.

This version also includes multiple refinements and optimizations designed to further enhance usability and overall system performance.

Key Highlights
