Whether you are new to Injection Molding or have years of experience this webinar is the cornerstone to building molding cycles designed to optimize product quality and maximize profit. In this webinar, we will first define the variables associated with the Injection Molding process. We will then discuss, in detail, how to use decoupled molding to control these molding cycle variables and use them to construct a data driven cycle that will reduce process variation, reduce cycle time, and improve profitability. All problem solving and process optimization is built on this data driven cycle development methodology. The webinar content includes: 1. Would two molders with different amount of experience build the same cycle?; 2. Would two molders in different locations build the same cycle?; 3. Would this data driven approach to cycle development help us communicate quality problems to our customers?; 4. Will this approach to cycle development settle arguments on the best way to build a molding cycle?; 5. How do I get the step-by-step details on building a robust molding cycle?
