Seminar 4: Understanding Shrink & Warp for Successful Injection Molding
Teaching you to think from the plastic's perspective from design through production
“Immediate success of this Beaumont training has prompted us to offer these specialized courses to personnel at most of our other plants. By showing actual parts, attendees could easily see and relate to what was taking place — or not taking place — during the molding process. Thus, all functions from design through QC can now relate and understand the numerous influences that rheology, process changes and mold design practices have on the molded parts.”
Jorges Cortes, process engineer at Elcom
