Helping you get the tool right the first time, before the steel is ever cut.
I'm Maranda Tano, and MT Simulation Solutions is my independent Autodesk Moldflow practice. I work alongside molders, mold builders, and OEMs to predict fill, pack, cool, and warp problems early, while they're still cheap and easy to fix.
Let's talk about your part Moldflow Insight · DFM · manufacturability · troubleshootingHow I Can Help
Moldflow Simulation
Fill, pack, cool, and warp studies in Autodesk Moldflow Insight to prove out a design before anyone commits to steel.
DFM & Manufacturability
Design and cooling reviews that flag sink, warp, weld lines, and tight process windows while they're still easy to change.
Gate & Runner Optimization
Gate placement, runner balancing, and hot runner studies to improve fill, trim cycle time, and hold your tolerances.
Troubleshooting
Already in trouble on a tool? I use simulation to get to the bottom of short shots, high pressures, imbalance, and warp.
A Bit of Background
My Experience
I bring ten years of experience in plastics and injection molding, nearly all of it at Husky Technologies. I got my start in the R&D lab, running customer material tests on hardware and in the metrology lab, which gave me a hands-on feel for how materials and molds really behave before I ever touched simulation.
From there I moved into an Applications Engineer role, supporting customers on tooling and hot runner programs, estimating and troubleshooting, and then into Senior Moldflow Simulation Specialist, where I became the lead simulation specialist for the Americas and completed 350+ advanced studies across packaging, medical, automotive, consumer electronics, and more.
That path matters: I understand a tooling program from the material and the simulation all the way to the press, which means I can spot the problems that only show up when the analysis meets the real world. And honestly, the part I love most isn't the software, it's the moment the analysis turns into a real decision, walking a customer through the tradeoffs and landing on the right move together.
