A Monte Carlo simulation for tooling design

$15.00

This paper presents a step-wise explanation of how to use a Monte Carlo simulation to determine the effects of fiber diameter and coloring die geometry on the colored fiber diameter and the extreme fiber distance in a ribbon product. The simulation also takes into account variations in the factors and random process variations. This information can be useful in selecting appropriate tooling dimension and tolerances to achieve the desired product dimensions.
