Webinar: How simulations can help you assess the return on investment in conformal cooling early on

So the real question is: When is conformal cooling really worth it – and how to prove it convincingly with numbers?

We will answer exactly this question at an exclusive joint webinar by SimForm and voestalpine.

Date: May 7, 2026, Thursday
Time: 11:00 – 12:00
Language: English

Participation is free – and definitely worth it.

What will the webinar bring you?

• How to assess the economic return on cooling concepts already in the design phase – even before expensive tool decisions are finalized.
• How SimForm uses simulations to objectively determine cooling requirements and presents measurable performance differences between conventional and conformal cooling.
• How voestalpine designs and manufactures conformal cooling inserts using additive manufacturing, applies proven procedures and provides specific break-even point calculations based on real simulation data.

Your key benefits

• You will gain a practical, simulation-driven method to decide when conformal cooling is truly beneficial.
• You will ensure early confirmation of cooling concepts, thereby increasing certainty in planning and investment.
• You will have clear, quantified arguments for internal investment justification.

Real practical case study – step by step
Using a specific example of a medical PP 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 according to proven additive manufacturing rules,
• how injection molding simulations clearly confirmed the benefits: shorter cycle time and lower warpage in direct comparison.

You will get a clear answer to the question "Is conformal cooling worth it in your specific case?"
