Plastek Academy Reducing Variation Through the Use of Scientific Molding, Presented by RJG inc.

Plastek Academy Webinar (aired March 18, 2021.) Title: Reducing Variation Through the Use of Scientific Molding, Presented by RJG inc. Summary: This presentation will help you understand how a Scientific approach can minimize everchanging material viscosities in the injection molding process and, ultimately, in your molded parts. We will take a closer look at why material variation occurs and discuss methods on how we can build a more stable process to reduce the effects it has on your quality on a shot-to-shot basis. • Review where material variation comes from • Understand how a Scientific approach can reduce cycle time and improve part quality • Review next steps Guest Speaker : Paul Mandeville, Trainer / Consultant at RJG Paul began his career in 1993 as a Machine Operator and quickly worked his way up to Production Manager, Process Engineer, then Senior Process Engineering Manager.
