Prerequisites: Completed SOLIDWORKS Essentials training and a fundamental knowledge of plastic materials, plastic part design, and/or injection mould design
Description: The SOLIDWORKS Plastics course teaches you how to use specialized simulation software tools to predict how melted plastic flows during the injection moulding process. Predicting how the plastic will flow enables you to predict manufacturing defects such as weld lines, air traps, short shots, and sink marks. By predicting these defects, you can change the part or mould geometry, the processing conditions, or the plastic material itself to eliminate or minimize them, saving energy, material, time, and money.
The topics covered in this course are: |
