Webinar: Lower Cycle Times, Fewer Defects & Higher Productivity
Wednesday, May 6, 2009 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EDT
|
Lower cycle times, fewer defects and higher productivity are just a few of the benefits a hot-runner system. However many times these benefits aren’t realized because hot-runner designers weren’t involved in the early stages of design. This webinar will show how critical design decisions such as gate geometry and location need to be considered when designing plastic parts. This webinar will also explore the use of simulation tools such as MoldFlow, CFD, and FEA can improve part design and productivity. |
Download Any of ASTM's 680+ Plastics Test Standards
|
Each test standard is available as a PDF download through our store from ASTM, a trusted source for technical standards for materials. Known for their high technical quality, ASTM International standards have an important role in design and manufacturing. |
