SimForm.app - Easy Mold Cooling Prediction

What SimForm.app - Easy Mold Cooling Prediction does

SimForm.app is a cloud-based thermal simulation SaaS application developed and operated by Maya Heat Transfer Technologies Ltd. (Maya HTT), a Canadian engineering software company founded in 1983 and headquartered in Westmount, Quebec with a US office in Chicago. The product delivers mold cooling prediction for plastic injection and compression molding, producing transient thermal simulation results in approximately 15 minutes through a browser-based interface that requires no local installation. Its core technology stack combines automatic voxel-based meshing, a transient thermal solver, and GPU compute hosted on Microsoft Azure, and it integrates with IANUS Simulation for fill, pack, and warpage analysis. The platform serves mold makers needing front-end cooling feedback during tooling design, molders seeking to reduce cycle times and defects, and OEMs and suppliers optimizing parts for manufacturability.

The product is organized into a tiered subscription structure — SimForm Intro, Beginner, Pro, and custom Enterprise — supplemented by credit-based consumption of 3 to 50 credits per project depending on type. Published pricing ranges from approximately $3,000 per year for the Intro tier to $10,000 per year for Pro, with Enterprise contracts negotiated separately. A 30-credit free trial supports product-led acquisition, while enterprise and mid-market deals are closed through Maya HTT's direct sales team and authorized resellers.

Go-to-market blends self-serve onboarding with sales-assisted enterprise motion, supported by content marketing, webinars co-hosted with industry bodies such as the Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE) and the British Plastics Federation (BPF), and an expanding partner ecosystem that includes IANUS Simulation, Mantle, and CITO. Geographic footprint spans the Americas, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, with regional server infrastructure deployed in 2025 to serve APAC customers with lower-latency simulation and regional data residency.

Revenue model

1. Credit-Based Simulation Credits: Credits are consumed when creating a project (10 credits per design project). Feasibility projects cost 3 credits; Design projects cost 10 credits; Onboarding projects cost 50 credits. Credits can be purchased in bundles of 10, 100, or 1,000, or through automatic recurring monthly subscriptions. Credits expire at the end of each 1-year term.
2. Annual Subscription Plans: Four annual subscription tiers (SimForm Intro, Beginner, Pro, Enterprise) billed annually. Subscriptions auto-renew yearly unless cancelled 30 days prior to end of term. Enterprise tier offers unlimited projects with custom pricing.
3. Reseller Channel Revenue: Credits can be purchased through authorized Maya HTT Resellers under separate commercial terms. Resellers handle first-line support and invoice customers directly with their own pricing, discounts, and payment terms.
4. Professional Onboarding Service: Onboarding project (50 credits) where Maya HTT team works on the customer's first project, delivering up to three iterations and a technical report.

Core offering

SimForm provides a cloud-based SaaS platform for thermal simulation of plastic injection and compression mold cooling design. The browser-based application uses automatic voxel-based meshing and a GPU-accelerated transient thermal solver hosted on Microsoft Azure to deliver cooling simulation results in approximately 15 minutes. Users import CAD geometry (STEP or Parasolid), define cooling channels and materials, and obtain temperature distribution, freeze time, and safe ejection predictions without installing software or performing manual meshing.

Product overview

SimForm is a single cloud-based SaaS platform for mold cooling prediction and thermal simulation in plastic injection and compression molding. The core SimForm product delivers thermal simulation results in approximately 15 minutes through a browser-based interface. The platform operates on a credit-based consumption model with four subscription tiers (Intro, Beginner, Pro, Enterprise) ranging from 5 to unlimited annual projects. Analysis types include Feasibility Projects (3 credits, part-only analysis), Design Projects (10 credits, cooling optimization), and Onboarding services (50 credits, managed analysis). The platform integrates with IANUS Simulation for fill/pack/warpage simulation, and collaborates with Mantle (3D printing) and CITO (PulseCooling) on comprehensive tooling solutions. A Generative Design capability for automated cooling channel creation and Channel Recommendation feature are among recent additions expanding the platform's optimization capabilities.

Partnerships

Four partnerships are on record, tiered minor and core.

• MantleminorStrategic or Co-development Partner · 20 June 2025SimForm partnered with Mantle (3D printing company) and CITO on a collaborative project showcased in an SPE webinar. SimForm evaluates mold temperature and recommends cooling channel placement; Mantle provides automated toolmaking using material extrusion and CNC machining to produce inserts with complex conformal channels. The three companies together provide a comprehensive solution for faster, better mold cooling design.
• CITO (PulseCooling)minorStrategic or Co-development Partner · 20 June 2025CITO's PulseCooling manifolds and controllers reduce energy consumption and cycle times by only cooling the mold when needed. Featured in the SimForm-Mantle-CITO collaborative project presented in an SPE webinar on innovative cooling strategies in plastic injection molding.
• IANUS SimulationcoreTechnology or IntegrationSimForm and IANUS Simulation have partnered to deliver an integrated end-to-end injection molding simulation workflow. The collaboration combines IANUS's filling, packing, and warpage simulation capabilities with SimForm's accelerated cooling simulation. Engineers can use the same geometry, material properties, and boundary conditions across both tools, improving correlation with actual molding performance. The SimForm-IANUS workflow is available through Maya HTT.
