The Madison Group invites you to their event
About this event
With the objective of improving part performance while simultaneously driving down cost, many designers turn to multi-material molding to produce their plastic components. Whether the end objective is to provide product differentiation, enhanced consumer experience or to improve product performance, a designer has many options to achieve their end goal. However, it is important that the designer take a holistic approach where the material selection, product design, and over-molding process are considered to help ensure what is designed in CAD will translate into physical parts at first shots. This webinar will focus on over-molding, insert molding, and in-mold labeling/decorating, and what are the design considerations to help ensure success during first shots.
At the end of this event, attendees will have a better understanding of:
