OVERVIEW
This course will focus on processing strategies and how to collect and interpret
process data. By minimizing the effect of viscosity variation, process
capability increases significantly. The more stable the process, the fewer bad
parts are produced. We will cover methods for implementing a systematic molding
strategy, including how to get started and what to focus on when determining a
strategy. Students will learn how cavity pressure technology can increase
quality and productivity levels. We will also discuss issues facing today’s
molders such as rising material costs, globalization and increased quality
requirements.
