Trouble-Shooting Common Injection Molding Defects Through Virtual Molding

Injection molding parts may present defects that are intrinsic to the nature of the product. These defects could be related to part design flaws, material characteristics, mold design issues or improper process parameters. Regardless of the root cause, it is crucial to identify them in the first place and determine possible solutions for corrective actions to be taken. Early-stage detection of defects may lead to substantial time and cost savings as well as increased customer satisfaction. The use of virtual molding aids in the on-time prediction of potential issues and identifying its causes.

This course will navigate through the different techniques that may be applied with the help of virtual molding to troubleshoot plastic parts and their molds. Additionally, common approaches to solving these issues will be evaluated so that a data driven method to decision making is used while improving the quality of the final product.
