"They have built confidence, a sense of accomplishment & pride in our workers, something they can take to the floor and apply!"
Gene Shuret, Process Engineer — Flordia Production Engineering
- Module 1 explains the plastics used in injection molding, their properties and behavior, how these affect part quality, the scientific basis and the technology of molding. This is followed by a detailed analysis of common injection molded part defects, their causes and solutions. The seminar explores not just A solution, but challenges you to find THE BEST solution (attendees may bring molded part examples from their plants for analysis).
- Module 2 is hands-on injection molding practice using SimTech, the Paulson injection molding simulator to provide each student hands-on practice in setting and observing the effects of each machine control on the plastic and the molded parts and problem-solving. This is followed by a molding laboratory on an actual machine to demonstrate the concepts and principles taught over the previous 4 days.
