This presentation introduces JSP’s predictive approach for expanded polypropylene (ARPRO) projects using advanced simulation tools developed with Saden. Covering the full ARPRO part development cycle, the solutions enable virtual validation at each key stage, including design feasibility, performance prediction, tooling simulation, cavity filling and molding process optimization. By integrating simulation early and continuously, manufacturers reduce project carbon footprint, anticipate risks, improve part quality, minimize iterations and accelerate time-to-market. The session outlines JSP’s developments and how ARPRO is entering a new era where prediction supports robust design, efficient industrialization and consistent quality.

• Virtual validation across key phases: design, performance, tooling and molding
• How to anticipate risks early and reduce costly iterations and rework
• Using simulation to reach optimal eco-design performance
• Enabling data-driven decisions for ARPRO EPP molding optimization
• From an empirical process to carbon footprint optimization through simulation
