MATERIAL SELECTION AND TESTING FOR PLASTICS
“The instructor presented the material in an enthusiastic and understandable way.” Susan Collet Senior Principal Engineer, Materials Toyota Technical Center USA, Inc.
Today’s necessity for quickly delivering products to market limits product development time and leaves less room for error and ‘re-dos.’ With so many plastic materials available, it is crucial that those involved in product design understand resin properties and how they aect part design and manufacturability. To help you make the best plastic choices the first time, this seminar provides an overview of polymer chemistry, explains the methods for testing properties of plastics and presents a method of systematic selection that will optimize your plastics material selection process. LEARNING OBJECTIVES By attending this seminar, you will be able to: • Understand the properties of plastic materials • Know what types of instruments are used in testing • Demonstrate methods used to test the properties of plastic materials • Possess the technical background necessary to select the optimum resin for a given application • Apply measurements to the standards and specifications so the material and design meet an application’s service requirements WHO SHOULD ATTEND Product and part designers, engineers, and engineering managers involved in the development of plastic parts. Specifically designed to enhance on-the-job eectiveness for professionals at all levels of plastics part development, this course will provide an invaluable foundation for selecting plastic materials and understanding their capabilities and limitations.
