About this event
This webinar is part of The Madison Group's #TMGPLASTICEDU series of events.
In this webinar several case studies of troubleshooting will be presented. These cases will focus on how using different tests and results together help identify the root cause of the performance issues in injection molded plastic parts and evaluate potential solutions. These case studies will highlight the use of both processing data and analytical testing to help find solutions faster. This event is best suited for those that already have a comprehensive understanding of polymeric materials, their behavior, and processing via injection molding.
At the conclusion of this webinar, you will understand:
- An understanding of how processing affects the end performance of injection molded parts.
- How analytical testing helps identify key processing variables that should be focused on during troubleshooting.
- How simulation can help quickly evaluate solution avenues for processing and design issues.
