Duration
3 days
OVERVIEW
This course is designed 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.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to :
- Explain different types of terminology and systems used in mould construction
- Explain different types of plastic material and their applications.
- Calculate injection moulding capacity and parameters.
- Calculate the size of core and cavity when considering the shrinkage value.
- Design plastic product and two plate mould.
THE UNIQUENESS OF THIS COURSE
- Practical activities for example product and mould design in CAD approach, demo on mould operation.
- Experienced trainers in the field of plastics and processing industry.
