This seminar is offered to engineers and designers involved in the
design of injection molded plastic parts. The course provides a
fundamental overview of the many factors associated with plastic parts
that will be produced using the injection molding process. In order to design
a high-quality injection molded part, the designer must select an
appropriate plastic material formulation, develop a functional design,
and work within the manufacturing limitations associated with the mold
design and injection molding process. This course will cover the
fundamentals of plastic materials behavior and selection, engineering
design, manufacturing (moldability) considerations, prototyping, stress
analysis and assembly methods. The timely subject of design for enhanced
recyclability will also be discussed, as will design developments
related to new injection molding technologies.
