These four in-depth scientific moulding training programs provide participants with the knowledge base required to identify and troubleshoot over twenty-five of the most common injection moulded part defects. Users will also come away with a better understanding of how to best process, document and maintain a reliable scientific injection moulding process.


Course 1: Introduction

This scientific moulding training program focuses on the 7-step process to scientific troubleshooting. Participants are also presented with information and practices on how to best process, document and maintain a reliable scientific injection moulding process.

  • Step 1 – Develop a Scientific Moulding Process
  • Step 2 – Properly Document the Process Outputs
  • Step 3 – Examine the Defective Part and Rule Out Obvious Causes
  • Step 4 – Compare the Current Process with the Documented Process
  • Step 5 – Return the Process to the Documented Standard
  • Step 6 – Verify the Part and Process
  • Step 7 – Document all Changes Made


Course 2: Visual Defects
