SUMMARY:Beaumont & the American Injection Molding Institute Plastic Part Failure Analysis
DESCRIPTION: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.

SUMMARY:Beaumont & the American Injection Molding Institute Development Course: Mold Design
DESCRIPTION:Online or in-person (Erie\, PA) \nThe 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.

SUMMARY:RJG Academy DECOUPLED MOLDING Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is designed to provide participants with valuable hands-on machine time to reinforce the methodologies they learned in Systematic Molding or Fundamentals of Systematic Molding. It offers the exact same exercises as Master Molder® I\, but with half the practice time and none of the testing. Companies that are not allowed by their customers to make changes to processes can substitute the Template Match Workshop for the DECOUPLED MOLDING® Workshop. \nAttendees will acquire the knowledge they need to dissect and rebuild the process using data-driven methodologies\, then document the return on investment and indicate potential improvement areas using the current condition of the machine and mold. The end result will be the most robust process possible with the current conditions. For those interested in using this training to achieve real-world process improvement ROI\, an RJG consultant may be hired at a later date to mentor you on one or more of the machines at your facility.

SUMMARY:RJG Academy Part Design for Injection Molding
DESCRIPTION:RJG’s Part Design for Injection Molding course provides molders\, tool makers\, and design engineers with a common language and the universal knowledge required to successfully design and produce plastic injection molded components. Improving general knowledge of the steps required for part design reduces the risk of less than optimum tooling conditions\, therefore minimizing exposure to injection molding non-conformities that do not meet the quality requirements of the customer. \nClass topics address good manufacturing processes (GMP) for: plastic part design\, fundamental material characteristics\, basic tooling concepts\, 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. During 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. \nI never expected how immediately Part Design for Injection Molding would prove beneficial to us. During class\, the instructor presented us with a test method that proved a great addition to our existing methods. Within days of returning to our office\, we were able to get the data we needed using the new test method. To top it off\, the class was interactive\, engaging\, and fun. Everyone who attended got something out of it regardless of their experience level.
