Over the course of several years, standard injection molding technology has evolved and diversified into more complicated and advanced technologies. Different applications and part-quality requirements have pushed the development of new processing technologies, which have specific design and processing criteria. This seminar will explore different molding technologies, providing design and processing information about each manufacturing process. Applications and challenges associated with each process will be discussed and analyzed. The use of computer-aided engineering simulation tools will be presented and used to help attendees understand and optimize different molding technologies. Industrial applications will also be discussed and used as case studies. Attendees are expected to end the seminar with an understanding of the potential of different molding technologies in several fields of application. Moreover, hands-on activities using computer-aided engineering tools will allow attendees to improve their simulation skills. Recommended prerequisites: injection molding knowledge and/or knowledge of injection molding simulation.
