1. Robust Process Development using Scientific Molding, Processing and DOEs      Click Here for More Info
Dates: Oct 11 and 12, 2011
Location: Vista (San Diego), CA
Cost: $795 - with Book and $695 without Book.
Course Description: This class is designed for those who would like to have a basic working knowledge of polymers and injection molding. It reviews the important aspects of the factors required to develop a robust injection molding process, using the techniques of scientific molding and scientific processing. Scientific principles related to the complete molding process, from the drying of the resin to post mold shrinkage will be discussed. Design of Experiments (DOE) for injection molding will be covered. The hands on workshop will include development of a process using scientific molding principles, a Design of Experiments exercise.
    Topics to be covered
  • Introduction to Scientific Processing
  • Polymers and Plastics
  • Plastic Flow
  • Injection Molding and Molding Machines
  • Drying of Plastics
  • Scientific Processing
  • Design of Experiments (DOE) for Injection Molding
  • The Aesthetic, Dimensional and Control Process Window
  • Trouble shooting and related topics
  • Implementation of the techniques learnt at your facility
  • Hands-on / Demo of Scientific Molding atthe Molding Machine
  • Hands on / DOE at the Molding Machine

2. Principles of Plastic Part and Product Design - The Essentials for Robust Design      Click Here for More Info
Date: Tuesday Oct 18th 2011
Location: Santa Clara, CA
Cost: $345 (without Book), a Total of $590 if registered for Seminar 3 below.
Course Description: This course is offered to engineers and designers involved in the design of injection molded plastic parts. The course provides a fundamental overview of the many factors associated with plastic parts that will be produced using the injection molding process. This course will cover the fundamentals of plastic materials behavior and selection, part design, injection molding and mold design, effects of environment on part dimensions. Assembly techniques (snap-fit, press-fit, threaded insert, welding) and prototyping of new plastic products.
    Topics to be covered
  • Introduction to Plastic Product Design.
  • Fundamentals of Plastics, materials Selection
  • Material Properties. Short term, long term Loading
  • General Part Design Principles
  • Design for Stiffness
  • Effects of Molding, Tooling and Environment on part dimensions
  • Assembly Techniques
  • Prototyping The Design
