COURSE HIGHLIGHTS

This course is about Plastic Injection Molding Detail Design considerations and practices. 4 PDH awarded. Online certificate training program for Design for Plastic injection Molding, Design for Manufacturability series. The training program is based on the book - Engineering Design for Manufacturability, 2006 - 2012, written by Kelly L Bramble.

This course is perfect for anybody in the design, engineering, procurement or management or other technical role whom are involved in the engineering, design or management of plastic injection molded parts.

This training module will be available for 45 days after payment has been received.

Professional Development Hours (PDH) earned = 4.0 hours (Takes approximately 4 hours to complete).
This is a flash based training program.

One must receive an 80% correct or greater on all training modules quiz's, as well as the final knowledge test to receive a Certificate of Completion.

At the conclusion of this course, the student will

• Be able to specify geometry which will minimize design and manufacturing change iterations.
• Be able to identify and correct potential sink depression (mark) areas within designs
• Specify proper draft angles and parting line location on plastic parts
• Design robust stiffening ribs for structural and molding operations
• Specify proper blind and through hole features for thick and thin walled applications
• Be able to design cored hole features that avoid weld-line flaws within the molded part
• Design custom and standard mold-able coring hole features that as easy to manufacture
• Design proper corner and material intersection features
• Specify proper extruded or boss features that exhibit minimal distortions during post molding cool down
• The following are the technology requirements for this training course.
• Design various snap-fit features properly for both function and mold-ability
• Identify Alternative designs for tough to locate cored and snap fit features
• Understand and properly design geometry for living hinge applications
• Properly specify molded part finishes and roughness for application and cosmetics
