MAY SimTech™ Challenge Wrap Up
This month’s participants showed real molding skill. In order to earn a score, you had to make as many good parts as possible in a 120-hour job. Challengers in APRIL had some difficulty, but not so much this time. The difference between the top placing molder and the person in 30th was just 2852 parts per 120 hour job. That’s some darn good molding everyone!
Now for the winners. We have a group of challengers who consistently top the leaderboard, you’ll note our reigning champ from 2019, Johnny Ash, AGAIN placed second. However, if you’ve won all three monthly prizes already you are now only eligible to earn points for the GRAND PRIZE of $6,000 worth of training from Paulson.

Having Fun with our Competitions?
Imagine the team of skilled molders you could create if SimTech was in your plant 24-7? Your employees could be improving their molding expertise in a safe, low-cost environment, building critical thinking and troubleshooting skills. And you can stage your own friendly in-house competitions. It’s proven, molding simulation is the best and most cost-effective way to become a better molder. You don’t want your employees making their mistakes or trying new techniques on the production floor at an actual machine—now that’s a costly way to learn. The simulation of complex processes is quickly becoming the gold standard of skill development. SimTech is the answer for injection molding.
Here’s just a few of the applications you can employ with SimTech:
- Hiring Qualified Employees – Before hiring a potential employee, test their knowledge and skills with problem solving exercises in Simtech.
- Technician Promotion – Give your candidates for promotion a test before you make that decision.
- In-plant Competitions to promote learning and discussion – Have your own competitions amongst your team. Have a discussion on what process settings work and why.
