Webinar: Step One of the Molding Cycle, Heating the Plastic

Articles, Published Webinars

Understanding the four steps of the molding cycle is key, and in this webinar, our expert instructor, Todd Bryant will discuss and explore step one of the molding cycle: heating the plastic. He will demonstrate the significance of this first step using SimTech, our injection molding machine simulator to show you. He’ll run dozens of cycles with various inputs focusing on how temperature affects part properties. You’ll see in real-time the affects of heat on plastic behavior and how easily the molecules can flow. This is Scientific Molding. Join our webinar to learn more and see for yourself as our instructor demonstrates and explains in real-time varying temperature inputs and the resulting affects.

Additionally, you’ll get an inside look at process optimization from the “plastic’s point of view” (PPV), the foundation to all molding strategies. This means understanding the concept that all machine controls affect one or more of the four plastic processing variables. Paulson’s entire approach, from starting up a machine for a production run, to problem solving an existing run is to examine the situation from the “plastics point of view.”

Key Take Aways Include:

  • Learn the science behind the plastic material
  • Understand the affect of temperature on the plastic material
  • Gain process optimization strategies from the “plastics point of view”
  • Get insider knowledge to lowering the cycle time once you’re making good parts
  • Learn how to use SimTech™ as a powerful learning tool so you can become a confident molder

Take part in this FREE webinar to learn and apply molding techniques that will dramatically change the way you process.
