ATV-SEMAPP inviterer til kurset ‘Introduction to plastics – focusing on injection moulding’ d. 13.-14. september

Close Up Of Shredded Recycled Plastic Background Environmental Concept

I regi af ATV-SEMAPP inviteres branchen til todages-kursus ”Introduction to plastics – focusing on injection moulding”. Kurset henvender sig til fagfolk, der er involveret i design, proces og produktion af plastdele. Seminaret er på engelsk.

Del:

Kursuset giver deltagerne nøgleprincipperne for design til fremstilling, og hvordan dette påvirker den succesfulde fremstilling af sprøjtestøbte dele.
Deltagerne følger en dels livscyklus fra indledende design til formværktøj og til fremstilling. En nøglekomponent i kurset er at identificere sprøjtestøbningsudfordringer baseret på materialevalg, deldesign, formdesign og formkonstruktion.

Deltagerne vil blandt andet studere:

  • Valg af plastmateriale
  • Oversigt over sprøjtestøbningsbehandling
  • Formværktøjskoncepter og designovervejelser
  • Best Practices for deldesign
  • Interaktioner mellem materialevalg, deldesign og formdesign

Course scope
This course is designed to provide participants with the key principles of design for manufacture and how this influences the successful manufacture of injection moulded parts.

Participants follow the life cycle of a part from initial design to mould tooling and finally manufacture.

A key component of the course is to identify injection moulding challenges based upon material selection, part design, mould design and mould construction.

Participants will study concepts of tolerancing, material selection, product application, key design principles, the impact of different part features and how these can and should be designed, the utilisation of CAE for effective DFM.

This course provides a solid foundation of knowledge required to design robust parts that reduce the risk of less than optimum mould designs; minimizing exposure to injection moulding non-conformities.

Course structure
Theory based course with interactive activities.

Course highlights

  • Plastic Material Selection
  • Injection Moulding Processing Overview
  • Mould Tool Concepts & Design Considerations
  • Part Design Best Practices
  • Interactions between Material Selection, Part Design & Mould Design

The seminar is ideal for
Production Personnel, Process Personnel, Quality Personnel, Design Personnel & Process Support Personnel
