2.5 Days with at-press demonstrations; public and on site

25-45% of the class will be at the press, if at your site we use the resins and molds you want to work on plus a 4th day for hands-on implementation is available

Covers New/Old molds, Medical, and Critical Tolerance parts on Electric or Hydraulic machines, and Process Development for replicating on different machines.

Abstract: This seminar provides a complete process development based on Scientific Molding.  The fastest growing process technology globally.  25 to 45% of the time at the press doing experiments developing process data.  On-machine demonstrations cover the Viscosity Curve with interpretation, Velocity Linearity, Press Loss, Delta P, Load Compensation, Gate Seal and more.  All work is documented and backed up with cavity pressure, and Infrared data on a Glenn Beall designed mold that has 36 common molding & design issues.  You will leave with documentation that has passed stringent medical, electronic, automotive etc. requirements.  Further, you will leave with the knowledge on how to duplicate this process on any appropriate machine.  Focus is on plastic variables, not set points.  Save time, increase your profits; make these procedures work for you.

How to Design & Produce Consistent Injection Molded Plastic Parts/Assemblies

Successful Plastic Parts Design
The Fundamentals Revealed!

2 to 2.5 Days

Course Description: This 2 to 2.5-day seminar is for all personnel involved in product design/development: mold design, and quality assurance of injection-molded parts and assemblies. The seminar contains information, used with permission from Glenn Beall, John Klees and Mike Sepe. Components designed to be made out of plastics may not be injection-moldable. This seminar will show you how to review component designs and recommend modifications so they become more readily injection molded. This course reviews plastics with respect to competent design and manufacturer. Part design criteria, correlation of polymer structure and product performance will be presented in a concise and practical manner.

Material Selection: Design & Processing Perspectives

2 Days

Course Description: This 2-day seminar is targeted toward understanding polymers and resins with respect to processing, design and material selection. The seminar is designed to provide the basic polymer properties important for design, processing and performance. These include: origin, structure, molecular weight, crystallinity, melting, shrinkage, melting, moisture sensitivity and fillers. Guidelines for material selection are included. This seminar is recommended for management, purchasing, technical representatives, mold makers, designers, molding supervisors, molding technicians, process engineers and quality assurance personnel.

2.5 Days with at-the-press demonstrations

Course Description: The course will provide the details for you to develop, validate and document an optimized injection molding process for medical applications. This procedure will pass stringent medical or electronic requirements. An FDA case history will be shown. At-the-press training. Learn the plastic variables, not set points. Applies to all high-performance, critical tolerance injection molded parts. See plastic flow through glass window molds to visualize and prove the important "Plastic" variables you need to control.
