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.

"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.

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.
