Sustainability and Climate Protection Through Digitalization

Investing in digitization means investing for success, and the plastic industry needs powerful tools for the development process and beyond.
Altair’s broad, powerful technology portfolio enables sustainable product design, helps organizations transform the plastics value chain, and meet the industry’s sustainability and climate protection goals. It also helps organizations:

• Substitute materials
• Increase recycled material usage rates
• Assess and reduce carbon footprint

“The CO2 Tracker project from motan and Altair is the first integrated approach to map the complete production process and provides true material data transparency by capturing the actual processing data.”

Sandra Füllsack CEO, motan group

“Simulation was the key enabler for this 100% circular packaging system, driving the exploration of new ideas and accelerating the entire development in a cost-effective manner.”

Oliver Unterlechner, Ideation Manager, Corporate Development & Innovation, ALPLA

“Altair’s complete engineering and CAE workflows for lightweight design and material substitution enable sustainable design.”

Viktor Seres, CEO, X-Plast

“We follow the motto: Reducing is better than recycling! We implemented Altair’s topology optimization processes as generative design strategy for sustainable plastic products.”

 Stephan Niggemann, Expert Structural Systems, Sika

The addition of SIMCON’s advanced simulation technology gives Altair customers a broader, more powerful set of virtual injection molding tools that integrate with other simulation-guided product design tools such as structural solvers, thermal solvers, crash testing software, and metrology software.

This will foster proactive collaboration between departments and part and mold designers, which will minimize issues and costly mold corrections.
