Webinar: Designing for Productivity and Profitability
Wednesday, May 6, 2009 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EDT

Lower Cycle Times, Fewer Defects & Higher Productivity

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.
