Seminar 1: Optimizing Mold Start-up, Debug & Qualifications
Teaching you to think from the plastic's perspective from design through production
"I found the training to be of great value. Our initial discussions on foundational plastic flow characteristics, pressure drop, shear rate, Reynolds number and MFI vs. Capillary Rheometer curves led the way. Then the lab exercises, discussions on viscosity, Steel/shear imbalances and processes to use during mold start-up finished it off. I got a lot of good information that can immediately be put to use."
