Real "HANDS-ON" training for anyone needing to understand this process. As well as covering all aspects of the process in theory, we set-up a real production machine from scrClick this image for more informationatch.
 
The whole process is explained, to guide you through the selection process for...
  • Moulds,
  • Machines,
  • Materials, 
We also show they interact and how they combine to produce profitable products. 
this also shows how faults occur, and what you can do to avoid them.

 Course 5 Injection Moulding Processing & Design: 3 days

Get to know the Moulding Process and Mould Design in theory and Practice rapidly
In response to customer requests, this new course for 2010 is our first 3 day course.
It combines the key elements of our "Injection Moulding Theory & Practice" & "Mould Design & Procurement", without sacrificing content. Click this image for more information
 
By incorporating the content common to both of these courses,
we have maintained their effectiveness but reduced their duration,.
 
The other aspect has been the increase emphasis on fault finding
& troubleshooting; once again in response to customer's comments.

Assess student's progress.
Evaluation of effectiveness. 
Creation of continuous development programme.
 

 

Training at your location

 

 

We can also deliver training at your site..
Central to our activites is tailoring course content to a customer's specific needs, then delivering  it to fit  their work schedules. this not only  minimizies disruption to production, it providing exactly what is needed whist maximising the returns on investment.

Off-site Training 

We can offer off-site facilities, where candidates can learn the process using up to date machines & production moulds.It provides an ideal learning environment, allowing them to concentrate fully on the task in hand without interuption, particularly during practical sessions.
 Use your Moulds & Materials to maximise your Training! 
To get the best of both worlds we can also tailor the training at our assocoaites locations,and have already done so on several occasions.
 For  Individual customers wishing to train a number of their staff specifically on their range of products, we have used their moulds & materials to simulate as closely as possible the real moulding environment.
 Once again this  gives the benefits of no interruptions, and no stoppages to production but  also avoids any confidentiality issues as well as concentrating solely on  their products.
Whether large or small, we can provide training  to all companies who need effective, value for money training.
By taking time to  identify where needs lie, resources can be targeted, to maximise returns through productivity gains, reduced downtime & consistent quality.
