4-Part Workshop: Injection Molding Process: From 42 to 4 Variables for Robustness and Repeatability
Workshop
Injection Molding Process: From 42 to 4 Variables for Robustness and Repeatability
Begins June 11, 2024
All workshop days are from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM EDT.
Online
Next Lesson: Session 1
Summary
This workshop delves into the intricacies of the injection molding process, where traditionally 42 variables vie for control. Recognizing the complexity inherent in managing such a vast array of factors, the session focuses on streamlining operations by distilling these variables down to just four essential elements. Through a blend of theoretical discourse and practical demonstrations, attendees will witness the transition from complexity to simplicity, understanding how this approach enhances robustness and repeatability in production. This workshop bridges the gap between theoretical concepts and real-world implementation, offering actionable insights for achieving greater efficiency and consistency in injection molding practices.
Agenda
If you can't attend one or several sessions live, or if you want to review some concepts, the recordings will be available after each session.
