Every molding job is different, but there are some common principles that every molder should know and review prior to, during and after any molding job.  This webinar will cover those items giving you a foundation of knowledge and help you create a “checklist” to ensure maximum success and efficiency for all your molding jobs in the future.

Water Assist Injection Molding with Randy Fleck, BASF
Friday, September 28, 2007 at 2pm EST ($99/person)
Water Assist Injection Molding (WAIM) is generating interest for all the right reasons. Compared to Gas-Assist Injection Molding, it has 50% faster cooling cycle; up to 25% thinner, uniform walls; and larger hollow parts. This course tells you how Water-Assist compares with Gas-Assist, its equipment requirements, process variants, and material considerations. Can earlier claims about the advantages of WAIM be substantiated? We’ll share with you results of testing from BASF Engineering Plastics’ Advanced Process Technology Laboratory.
