Mold Design has been one of the most sought-after career avenues in the Mechanical Engineering field. Blood and sweat have been poured in for the creation of this course. To make no stone unturned and to reach the very culmination of its success, efforts have been put to make the most minute detail of the Mold design comprehensible to the students, corporate professionals as well as beginners and stalwarts in the plastic products manufacturing Industry.
Each lecture is chronologically arranged so as to make the viewers comfortable in their approach and rest assured, the course is designed in such a manner that a layman totally unaware of the concept can grasp it easily.
Theoretical knowledge of the Injection Molding process is readily available in this course. Sufficient and exceptional resources cater to the requirement for practicing the tools. Self-evaluation and review tests will examine the knowledge gained. A state-of-the-art Mold Wizard library has also been provided. This library is nowhere available online. Lecture duration has been kept short to help students not to lose interest. Besides, an Easy Fill Advanced plug-in has also been provided.
Overall, it is a complete package starting from the basics to the documentation or 2D drawing process, not to forget the discussion pertaining to mold defects, their causes, and remedies.
As a topping on the cake, the instructor has come up with a nascent section on a LIVE PROJECT which will commence its journey from a European standard L- series DME mold base (the sizing is in strict adherence to the customer's requirement), up until the creation of Feed System, Ejection and Cooling systems.
The instructor will continue to add more informative content about the course with time. Check out Section 13, which is the latest addition to the series.
