Course Overview
- Duration: 3 Days
- Certificate of attendance will be issued to those who fulfill 80% of attendance.
To provide participants with the fundamental knowledge in plastic mould construction and design.
The scope emphasizes on a two plate mould design, where participants engage in practical activities to design a plastic product and mould using CAD system. A guided session for mould design is helpful to help participants produce part and mould design during the course duration. This approach covers aspects of feed, ejection and cooling systems, identifying parting lines and surfaces calculations for determining shrinkage, plasticizing capacity, clamping force and cycle time.
