Plastic - any class of synthetically-produced organic compounds
capable of being molded and hardened into a specific shape or form.
This course is designed to offer a basic understanding of plastics
and plastic processing. Using plastics can be simple, but there
is much more behind producing high performance plastic parts.
This seminar will walk you through the molding process, provide a
comprehensive look at the variables in the manufacturing mix, and
review characteristics of typical automotive plastics such as PP, PVC,
ABS, and more. This seminar will also cover troubleshooting molding
mistakes and alternative processes, and review the selection of an
application’s appropriate plastic material. Material presented is both an
excellent foundation for further development and an extensive update
for those already working in the field.
