The 7-drawer set of the Plastics Technician's Toolbox® - Injection Molding is a professional development tool for technicians of all levels, as well as a resource for engineers. The all inclusive Toolbox is also used by several 2-year colleges and apprenticeship programs as a curriculum base. A team of 47 talented authors, from a cross-section of industry and academia, collaborated to share their knowledge and invaluable on-the-job experience.

The comprehensive Toolbox contains all the nuts and bolts required for creating and maintaining a high level of productivity in a plastics processing facility - from setup to troubleshooting. Materials, machinery, molds, quality, problem solving and new technologies are brought together with handy reference tables, equations, photos, illustrations and charts in a casual, easy-to-understand format. SPE and its talented members championed this unique, one-of-a-kind resource.
