Fundamentals Of Product Design
This interactive CD, is an inexpensive training tool that provides basic knowledge and information concerning the proper plastic product design process for injection molded parts from concept to production. Ideal for the entry level employee or the lifetime expert, this seminar covers it all. Starting with how a basic idea is developed, then considering what process to use, how many cavities are needed, what size machine is required, which material will best fit the needs of the product, and how much the product will cost, we look at all phases of the design process. We also cover extensively how to design the parts, and how to dimension components such as snap fits, holes, gussets, and a variety of other common features. We also include a valuable check list that designers can use to make sure they have covered everything necessary, and there is a glossary of material acronyms along with their definitions. Common defect causes and solutions are included as well as systematic testing so the user can track data retained.
