- How to Keep a Competitive Edge
With competitive issues on the forefront of
everyone’s mind in the manufacturing world,
many custom injection molding companies are
cutting expenses. But quality is mandatory,
so making investments in resources—human
and capital equipment—is critical to keeping
a competitive edge.*
The
Paulson School of Molding helps molders
maintain a competitive edge with hands-on training
that gets proven results:
| “You
can take what you learn
in this course directly
to the mold floor and you
will see the results.”
-
Jose Luis Gonzalez, UFE
“Definitely
the best course I’ve
attended. The amount of
machine time and the one-on-one
attention from the instructors
was great!”
-

Materials
- Dry vs. Conditioned Explained
Most nylon manufacturers publish "as-molded"
(or "dry-as-molded") and "conditioned"
property values. As-molded properties represent
the properties of parts as they come out of
the mold. These parts begin absorbing moisture
from the atmosphere immediately. The amount
of moisture in the parts is a function of time
since molding and the temperature and humidity
of the atmosphere to which the parts are exposed.
The parts will eventually achieve an equilibrium
moisture content based on the temperature and
humidity. Conditioned
properties are those of the parts after this
equilibrium moisture content is achieved.
In
Prospector you'll notice two data sheets for
each Nylon material; for example Ultramid®
1000-11 (Cond) and Ultramid® 1000-11 (Dry).
