Solve Sink Marks from the Plastics Point of View
2021-10-13 13:00 - 13:30 (America/Chicago)
Injection molders! Do you have that “sinking” feeling when you encounter sink marks? Then join us for this month’s FREE webinar topic, “How to Solve Sink Marks from the Plastics Point of View.”
In this presentation, as part of our popular series of FREE monthly SimTech™ webinars, we will review the nature of sink marks. Sink Marks are depressions on the surface of the part. How do they occur? When the plastic in the mold cools, it shrinks. In thick sections, like where ribs and bosses meet the shrinkage can be enough to form a depression on the wall of the part. As the part continues to cool, molecules inside move closer together, and the plastic shrinks causing an internal stress that tries to collapse the surface of the molded part which eventually creates sink marks. How to avoid and solve this problem? Join our expert instructor, Todd Bryant as he examines the effects on plastic that can cause sink marks and show you how to practice solving this problem utilizing our SimTech injection molding simulator.

"Electrifying the Adoption of Additive Manufacturing for EVs"
2022-04-12 11:00 - 12:00 (America/Chicago) | Virtual
The widespread adoption of electric vehicles is no longer a futuristic, far-off concept. With increasing mandates to electrify vehicle fleets, companies that don’t act quickly will miss out on market share. While the rise of additive manufacturing in the automotive industry has helped OEMs stay nimble in the face of changing times, the Carbon platform is uniquely positioned to enable automotive companies to go from idea to production with its innovative hardware, advanced software, best-in-class engineering resins, and leading production partners like Fast Radius. In this webinar, Doug Gergel, Dan Healy and Max Newberger discuss how Carbon’s Digital Light Synthesis technology can support product engineers and designers at any point in the vehicle development process from prototyping to low volume and even serial production of end-use parts with qualified partners like Fast Radius, why there’s no time like the present for electric vehicle makers to embrace this technology.

Paulson Training Programs, Inc. Profitable Molding for Managers
2022-04-26 08:00 - 2022-04-28 17:00 (America/Chicago)
A 3-day injection molding seminar that teaches the business of profitable molding for managers. The primary focus is on identifying, monitoring and controlling the cost drivers of an injection molding plant. Cost drivers are those items which dictate how much profit is made. Managers of molding plants are swamped daily with a myriad of issues, many of the “immediate” variety. Those daily fires can obscure the important metrics by which success will be measured and achieved. Certification: Successful completion of this course earns attendees a Certificate of Completion.

Beaumont & the American Injection Molding Institute Development Course: Mold Design
2023-08-16 - 2023-08-17
Online or in-person (Erie, PA)
The course begins by identifying the five key systems of a mold: melt delivery, cooling, structural, venting, and ejection. Discussions follow featuring the foundations of each system and how they all affect the formation of the plastic part and the final part quality. Participants will take part in three different labs: a mold tear down and assembly, mold print reading, and a cooling cart demonstration. Attendees will gain the ability to evaluate mold design based on the five systems and recognize design features that could be improved.

Beaumont & the American Injection Molding Institute Plastic Part Failure Analysis
2023-08-22 - 2023-08-24
Plastic Part Failure Analysis begins by covering common part design mistakes that lead to failures, and strategies used to resolve those issues. The course then dives into mold design considerations that may also lead to plastic part failures, including gating and cooling issues. Plastic material selection criteria are then covered with emphasis on critical material performance testing over time and temperature ranges as compared to single-point data. Next, injection molding processing factors are discussed and related to part performance issues. Students will also learn the numerous methods used to analyze part failures to definitively determine the root cause of a failure. The course wraps up with examples of the diagnostic strategies and root cause solutions using industry case studies.
