Scientific Moulding 101 (International English Version)

Scientific Moulding 101 lays the foundation of knowledgee necessary for the success of any injection moulding employee.

This package provides employees with broad-based training on the injection moulding machine, process, mould, plastics and Scientific Moulding. Anyone working with production equipment or handling the material will greatly benefit from this package.

Introduction to Injection Moulding

This course provides participants with a general introduction to the plastics industry. The primary focus of this training program is the day-to-day operations of a typical injection moulding facility.

An Introduction to Injection Moulding was created for newcomers to the injection moulding industry or anyone that would like to learn more about plastics. We recommend that new hires take this course before participating in our Injection Moulding Basics series.

An overview of plastics and the industry
A typical moulding facility
General plant safety
An introduction to the moulding process
Moulding machine components
Material handling
Injection mould terminology
Common part defects

Injection Moulding Basics

Our Basics series provides participants with a general understanding of the three major aspects of injection moulding; the injection moulding machine, the moulding process, and the injection mould. These programs use 3D animation to demonstrate the inner workings of the machine and mould and to easily convey otherwise complex concepts. Important safety precautions are stressed throughout these training programs.

These basic injection moulding training programs are ideal for new hires, yet also serve as an excellent refresher course for any employee involved in plastics processing; from operators and technicians to management and setup personnel.

Part 1: Machine

Cites important safety precautions for working around injection moulding machines
Gives an introduction to the injection moulding process
Introduces machine types and the different modes of operation
Discusses injection moulding machine components and their respective functions
General procedures for starting up and shutting down a moulding machine

Part 2: Process

Discusses polymers and the three criteria used to classify them
Covers some of the more common procedures for material preparation
Introduces the three phases of the moulding process; injection, cooling and ejection
Explains the need for maintaining an accurate process log
Defines common injection moulded part defects and explains their causes

Part 3: Mould

Explains the specific functions that an injection mould must perform
Introduces the various machining methods used to construct an injection mould
Discusses the three mould configurations used in the industry
Covers common runner shapes and gate types used in injection moulds
Gives an overview of proper injection mould maintenance

Understanding Plastics

This program explains how and why plastics are different and cites several different types of polymers and processing considerations. Understanding Plastics emphasizes material handling, explains regrind, and covers the effects that moisture can have on moulded part properties during processing.

The definition of plastics
Polymer classification
Material properties affected by processing
Proper material handling techniques
Processing characteristics of virgin and regrind

Establishing a Scientific Moulding Process

This scientific moulding training course provides participants with in-depth processing information to better prepare them for making appropriate and cost-effective decisions when establishing or improving a scientific injection moulding process.

The course teaches a processing strategy that properly decouples 1st stage fill from 2nd stage pack. Students who understand and utilize the strategy described in this course will produce processes with a much higher repeatability. The steps outlined in this course are intended to quickly establish a scientific injection moulding process, reduce downtime and improve process efficiency.
