Farmington Hills, MI-April 02, 2015 CoreTech System (Moldex3D) Co., Ltd., the glob
al leading innovator of true 3D CAE simulation solutions announced today a donat
ion of a $1.625 million gift to support education and research at the Clemson Un
iversity International Center for Automotive Research (CU-ICAR).
The gift includes 25 seats of the latest Moldex3D Advanced package and Solution
Added-on modules including Fiber and MuCell that will provide hands-on training f
or students, faculty and professionals in Clemson s Automotive Engineering Academi
c Program. Clemson will be one of the first universities in the Southeast that i
ncorporate Moldex3D into their academic curriculum and training for industry per
sonnel.
I am thrilled to have Moldex3D as the newest corporate partner for CU-ICAR, and I
thank them for their support, said Clemson University President James P. Clement
s. They are true industry leaders, and I know that our students and faculty in au
tomotive engineering will benefit greatly from being able to use and learn from
their software.
Dr. Anthony Yang, President of Moldex3D Northern America, said it is our respons
ibility to assist the academic world in nurturing the next generation by offerin
g its state-of-the-art simulation technologies and resources.
As the world s largest independent CAE software developer, we are truly pleased for
the opportunity to partner with Clemson University, which has one of the most e
lite automotive engineering programs in the world, to help students gain more pr
actical hands-on CAE experiences and further equip them with a viable simulation
ability to compete in the future job market, he said.
The software will advance Assistant Professor Srikanth Pilla s research and educat
ional capabilities in injection molding, specifically on supercritical fluid ass
isted foam injection molding.
This gift enhances the unique capabilities that we can do in my research lab at C
U-ICAR and will prepare students for industry with hands-on experience, Pilla sai
d. When using thermoplastic materials for body panels, interior parts and other c
omponents, injection molding with Moldex3D software is an important technology.
Moldex3D s simulation capability advances the fundamental understanding of my resea
rch lab s experimental research and reduces overall costs by being able to underst
and process physics and properties involved prior to physical experimentation, Pi
lla further said. With existing experimental infrastructure that includes the nat
ion s only integrated MuCell molding machine, this gift will further position Clems
on and our lab at the forefront of injection molding research and training.
According to the Dean of Clemson s College of Engineering and Science, Anand Gramo
padhye, the college s strategic plan calls for providing cutting-edge translationa
l research experiences for its students.
This software gift from Moldex3D will help us meet this strategic objective, whil
e allowing Dr. Pilla to significantly advance his research in injection molding,
thereby providing unique real-world experiences for our students, said Gramopadh
ye. We are grateful for Moldex3D s support.

Dr. Anthony Yang, President of Moldex3D Northern America further added that the
software donation is just the beginning of this joint collaboration.
We believe that both Moldex3D and Clemson will benefit greatly from this collabor
ation and we are confident that this will continue to move forward with efforts
from both sides, he said.
The gift donation ceremony will be held on April 2, 2015 on CU-ICAR campus.
