Scientific Molding For Six Sigma
The Plastics Point of View
The concept is to pick the topics you want covered. Your course will be tailored to your plant’s needs. Courses may be 3-4 days with on-machine training. A minimum of 25% of the course time is strongly recommended to be at your press training. If you have additional topics that you would like covered, please call. We will also cover the universal setup sheet; that is one setup sheet for a mold on any press; and process optimization.
