Systematic Molding

3 Day Systematic Molding

Course Description

3 Day Systematic Molding I is an introduction course for anyone who wants to develop a systematic approach to molding at their facility. Students leave this course with a better understanding of how to develop a machine independent process, how to make data driven improvements to existing processes, as well as how to effectively trouble-shoot using scientific and systematic approaches. Students will also understand the cause and effect relationships between the machine, process, mold, and material as well as how and why polymer behavior is influenced. This will allow them to make informed decisions for lasting solutions instead of “band-aid” fixes to the process.
