voestalpine invites you to a webinar: How simulations can help you assess the return on investment in conformal cooling early on

The real question is therefore: When does conformal cooling truly pay off – and how can this be convincingly demonstrated with numbers?

We will answer precisely this question in an exclusive joint webinar by SimForm and voestalpine.​​​​​

Date: 7.5.2026, Thursday
Time: 11:00 – 12:00 hours
Language: English

Participation is free – and definitely worthwhile.

What will the webinar offer you?

• How to assess the return on investment of cooling concepts at the design stage – before costly tooling decisions are locked in.
• How SimForm uses simulations to objectively determine cooling requirements and present measurable performance differences between conventional and conformal cooling.
• How voestalpine designs and manufactures inserts with conformal cooling using additive manufacturing, applies proven procedures and provides specific break-even calculations based on actual simulation data.

Your Key Benefits

• You will gain a practical, simulation-driven method for deciding when conformal cooling is genuinely beneficial. 
• You will secure early validation of cooling concepts, increasing confidence in planning and investment.
• You will have clear, quantified arguments to justify investments internally.

A Real-World Case Study – Step by Step
Using a specific example of a medical polypropylene part, we will show you the entire decision-making process: 

• how SimForm used simulations to determine the optimal layout of cooling channels,
• how a functional conventional concept (drilled channels, baffles) was derived from this data,
• how voestalpine transformed this design into a conformal cooling concept following proven additive manufacturing guidelines,
• how injection moulding simulations clearly confirmed the benefits: shorter cycle time and reduced warpage in a direct comparison.

You will get a clear answer to the question “Is conformal cooling worthwhile in your specific case?”
