Software
CetaTech, Inc. was founded on the basis of CAE technology and successfully commercialized CAE software (PIMsolver and PMsolver) for Powder Injection Molding and Powder Metallurgy.
PIMsolver
PIMsolver is a CAE analysis software for the Powder Injection Molding process.
Rigorous physical modeling of the inherent rheological properties of the powder-binder mixture and the physical properties database are used to analyze heat transfer and flow phenomena during mold filling and packing processes. In addition, we provide solutions for powder injection molding process through heat transfer analysis of mold considering insulation effect due to separation of powder and binder, and deformation analysis during sintering process.
With PIMsolver, you can design PIM parts and molds, and optimize molding process conditions at the design stage, saving development time and mass-production costs.

PMsolver
PMsolver is the CAE software for conventional Powder Metallurgy(PM) of die compaction and sintering.
The powder metallurgical process can be optimized by developing a very effective method for finding the material properties necessary for the die compaction and cold isostatic pressing process analysis and systemizing the series of experiments required for material properties measurement for sintering analysis.
PMsolver is capable of predicting the density distribution and cracking potential along with predicting the shape of the sintering deformation due to the density gradient during die
compaction.
With PMsolver/CIP, the shrinkage and density distribution of the powder inside the rubber mold during cold isostatic pressing(CIP) process can be analyzed. Through sintering analysis using PMsolver/Sintering, nonuniform sintering shrinkage due to density gradient of CIP compacted body and deformation due to self weight can be analyzed.
PMsolver/HIP analyzes the deformation of the can during the hot isostatic pressing(HIP) process and the shrinkage shape and density distribution of the powder inside the can.
