SUMMARY:RJG’s Fundamentals of Systematic Injection Molding
DESCRIPTION:March 18\, 2025 8:00 AM–March 21\, 2025 4:00 PM\nCourse length: 4 days \n\n\nDesigned for both technical and non-technical personnel who are associated with production of thermoplastic injection molded components\, this course introduces the foundational elements of systematic molding: part design\, mold design\, material\, machine\, and processing with Decoupled Molding methodologies. Participants are guided through a series of cause and effect studies to help them understand how manipulating primary machine input settings affects the four plastic variables and ultimately affects part quality and process repeatability. Empowered with this understanding\, participants will begin troubleshooting common part defects. \nCourse Objectives \n\nConsider part design best practices as they relate to greater processing capability and minimizing non-conformities\nReview the functions of the primary components of different types of molding machines and molds\nExamine how to achieve appropriate melt consistency and temperature\nStudy the relationship between pressure and speed and how plastic flow rates affect material flow-ability\nAnalyze the effects of hold pressure on part weight and cushion\nAssociate hold time to part weight/dimensional stability\nTheoretically calculate and practically determine appropriate clamp force\nDetermine appropriate cooling time to achieve part stability at ejection\nObserve the effects of additives (color changes) on the properties of the molded part\nRelate the 4 plastic variables to part defects to outline potential corrective actions\n\nDelivery Format Options\nThis course is available publicly\, in-plant\, or online. \n\n\nFor more information and to register:\nhttps://rjginc.com/training/registration/fundamentals-of-systematic-injection-molding/

SUMMARY:DELMIAWorks Webinar: Mastering Plastics Manufacturing
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, March 19th\, 11:00 AM ET\n\n\nAs an engineer in the plastics manufacturing industry\, you know running your business with software not designed specifically to address the unique needs of plastics processing can be a very frustrating experience. There is a better way. \nJoin us on Wednesday\, March 19th at 11:00 AM ET to learn how the most successful molders\, extruders\, compounders\, thermoformers\, and other plastics processors are overcoming the challenges of plastics manufacturing\, including: \n\nManaging family tools\, tracking parison/flash and regrind\, recipes/blends\, and cavitation\nInventory management\, including shelf-life\, FIFO/LIFO\, and raw materials\nKnowing exactly what is running\, where it is running\, and for precisely how long\nScheduling tool and die-based\, multi-level BOMs to reflect critical interdependencies\n\nLearn how plastics manufacturers are leveraging DELMIAWorks to streamline operations\, control costs\, boost profitability\, and stay competitive in a challenging market.
