August Summer School – Processing

For the final chapter of the Summer School series this August, the focus shifts to Processing and how it directly dictates final part performance. These three technical on-demand webinar sessions are designed to bridge the gap between simulation, material properties, and the shop floor:

• Lesson 1: Hands-On Troubleshooting Approach for Injection Molding – An introduction to how part design and processing conditions contribute to common molding defects, highlighting how to utilize process data, analytical testing, and injection molding simulation to identify root causes and expedite the troubleshooting process.

• Lesson 2: How Processing is Affecting Part Performance – Examining how manufacturing decisions influence short- and long-term part performance, with a focus on the role of processing on high-temperature performance, wall thickness distribution, proper gate design, and the driving factors behind part warpage.

• Lesson 3: Is Your Mold Design Working for Your Part? – Addressing the communication gap between design intent and the manufacturing team by demonstrating how feed systems, gate selection, cooling line layouts, venting, and mold construction influence the final product’s properties.
