Fundamentals Of Injection Molding
This interactive CD, is an inexpensive training tool that provides basic knowledge and information concerning the plastic injection molding process from start to finish. Ideal for the entry level employee or the lifetime expert, this seminar covers it all. We start with how the process works, then look at the molds and equipment used, then on to the materials processed, and the most popular secondary operations as well as drying materials and how shrinkage is developed. An extensive listing of rules-of-thumb developed by the author tops off the seminar and we include systematic testing so the user can track data retained.
