RJG’s Part & Mold Design for Injection Molding: Opelika, Alabama
Course Description
To successfully design and produce plastic injection molds and molded components that meet cycle time, cost, part quality, and lead time requirements, networks of molding professionals need to have a common language and an understanding of core elements of plastic behavior. This course will help you understand the inter-relationships of part design, mold design, and quality processing, allowing you to better:
- Maximize the likelihood of successful production
- Mitigate rework
- Reduce development costs
- Decrease the risk of less-than-optimum tooling conditions
- Minimize nonconformities
- Speed up time to market
Class topics address good manufacturing processes (GMP) for: plastic part design, fundamental material characteristics, robust mold designs, necessary processing characteristics, molding non-conformities, and tolerances. The course also discusses how part design and material selection affect the cost of tooling and piece price. Since hands-on-learning is a core component of our training, we utilize industry examples as reference, then dive into evaluating and improving designs. Attendees will work in groups to examine parts to identify where non-conformities will occur and methods to improve those risks.
