This 24-hour course meets over a one-week period. As a result of this training participants will be able to consider part design best practices as they relate to greater processing capability and minimizing non-conformities; review the functions of the primary components of different types of molding machines and molds; examine how to achieve appropriate melt consistency and temperature; study the relationship between pressure and speed and how plastic flow rates affect material flow-ability; analyze the effects of hold pressure on part weight and cushion; associate hold time to part weight/dimensional stability; theoretically calculate and practically determine appropriate clamp force; determine appropriate cooling time to achieve part stability at ejection; observe the effects of additives (color changes) on the properties of the molded part; and relate the four plastic variables to part defects to outline potential corrective actions.
