INTRODUCTION FOR PLASTIC INJECTION MOULD DESIGN – DESIGN MANUFACTURE OF PLASTIC PARTS

Plastic parts are found in countless big and small products today, from computers, household goods, control and instrumentation equipment, road vehicles, sporting goods to biomedical instruments, just to name a few. The quality and finishing of the plastic products depend on the choice of plastic material, product design, mould design and moulding process.

This is a course of continuing education specifically designed for people who are designing and manufacturing plastic parts.
