SUMMARY:RJG's Part & Mold Design for Injection Molding: Opelika\, Alabama
DESCRIPTION:Course Description\nTo successfully design and produce plastic injection molds and molded components that meet cycle time\, cost\, part quality\, and lead time requirements\, networks of molding professionals need to have a common language and an understanding of core elements of plastic behavior. This course will help you understand the inter-relationships of part design\, mold design\, and quality processing\, allowing you to better: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMaximize the likelihood of successful production\nMitigate rework\nReduce development costs\nDecrease the risk of less-than-optimum tooling conditions\nMinimize nonconformities\nSpeed up time to market\n\nClass topics address good manufacturing processes (GMP) for: plastic part design\, fundamental material characteristics\, robust mold designs\, 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. Since hands-on-learning is a core component of our 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.
