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:Beaumont Moldflow Webinar Series: Hot Gate Insulation
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, March 20th – Jerry Rooney\nHot Gate Insulation – Is the Default Assumption Safe? \nBeaumont is holding this FREE webinar series showcasing tips\, tricks\, and some of the latest features Moldflow has to offer. Come listen in\, ask questions and share with your co-workers!  There are three remaining webinars each covering different Moldflow topics all starting at noon EST. \nHot Gate Insulation – Is the Default Assumption Safe?\nBy default\, Moldflow assumes good insulation between Hot Gate elements and Part elements. Consequently\, the mold temperature near the gate is quite uniform\, and shows little evidence of the heat load from the nearby hot gate. The goal was to determine if manipulating the insulation properties of the hot gate produces notably different results in terms of packing and warpage. The results show increases in local shrinkage near the gates and slight changes to warpage magnitudes. Warpage trends remained the same in all scenarios. Additional simulations should be performed to determine the trends on a variety of materials and part designs. Lastly\, future work should involve taking actual temperature measurements from a production tool and comparing to simulation outputs.
