Injection molding parts may present defects that are intrinsic to the nature of the product. These defects could be related to part design flaws, material characteristics, mold design issues or improper process parameters. Regardless of the root cause, it is crucial to identify them in the first place and determine possible solutions for corrective actions to be taken. Early-stage detection of defects may lead to substantial time and cost savings as well as increased customer satisfaction. The use of virtual molding aids in the on-time prediction of potential issues and identifying its causes.

This course will navigate through the different techniques that may be applied with the help of virtual molding to troubleshoot plastic parts and their molds. Additionally, common approaches to solving these issues will be evaluated so that a data driven method to decision making is used while improving the quality of the final product.

This course is suitable for technical professionals involved in part and mold design for thermoplastic molded injection parts.

Also, for all others involved in the manufacturing process of products, engineers, technical managers, and technical sales and marketing staff.

At the end of this course, you will…

• Understand the principles behind virtual molding and its application on actual parts and molds.
• You will also know how to apply them and guide your team in the troubleshooting of injection molded part defects with the help of virtual environments. 

• Are you a designer struggling to navigate the wide range of plastic defects, seeking to make well-informed selections for your design options?
• Are you experiencing failures in your plastic products that are design drive and could have been avoided with proper upfront analysis?
• Are you interested in mold/part alternatives that could improve the performance and cost-effectiveness of your current products, but unsure where to begin?
• Do you heavily rely on your mold suppliers to choose design improvement for your products, yet aspire to enhance your own capabilities in this area?

If you answered yes to any of these, this course is designed for you.
