Maplesoft continues to bring technology, collaboration, and learning together. Here’s some of the exciting industry news from the world of web converting and high-precision manufacturing lines, and what’s new with MapleSim for Web Converting Systems software.

How is MapleSim helping web converters and manufacturers?

From EV batteries to flexible packaging and medical films, industries that rely on thin web materials are advancing at remarkable speed. To keep pace, engineers need tools that let them model, simulate, and optimize every detail of their process with accuracy and confidence. Processes that once relied on intuition and trial-and-error are now guided by advanced modeling and simulation, such as MapleSim.

Using MapleSim simulation, engineering teams can perform process validation testing virtually - saving time and money compared to physical testing. The virtual models are used to explore and accelerate production — and the new release of MapleSim delivers a powerful set of features to make that possible.

What’s new in the latest MapleSim release?

The new release (available today) enhances MapleSim’s ability to answer “what-if” questions about industrial systems, easily review and compare results, and find strategies to improve production.


For converters and web material manufacturers, it is now even easier to create models of roll-to-roll systems. The updates to MapleSim for web converting systems include pre-built components for modeling spans and applying control during rewinding and matching tension profiles with PLC settings. There is also a new Utilities section to help users to handle sensor data and perform common calculation tasks.

These all reduce the effort to build and update models and add more detail to the simulations. The result: faster to innovate, shorter testing cycles, and more value from every simulation.

Announcing the new Research Partnership Program for MapleSim

We are pleased to announce a new collaboration between Maplesoft and the research teams that are actively advancing converting and web manufacturing processes.
The MapleSim for Web Converting Systems - Research Partnership Program:

  • To support research communities across the web handling industry by providing licenses for MapleSim for Web Converting Systems at NO COST.

Our goal is to equip researchers with the same advanced modeling and simulation tools used in industry, helping them explore new concepts, test ideas, and drive meaningful discoveries.

Focus areas for research include:

  • manufacturing foils, plastic films, non-wovens, and other thin web materials.
  • any specialty process for handling or producing medical equipment, semi-conductors, or EV batteries.

More details of the program and the application process are available on this page.
 

How Simulation Gives You Operational Insights

We have a new web series of articles “R2R Operational Insights” that showcase the ways MapleSim models deliver deeper insights, greater efficiency, and better product quality. These modeling use case articles are sprinkled with customer stories from the world of packaging, EV battery manufacturing, and printing.
