Plastics Failure: Predict & Prevent from Start

Why wait till the stage of your plastics component's failure & then diagnose the causes to back-track? Prevent the failure from happening altogether by knowing the top causing factors & the corrective actions. Without a doubt, that will save you lots of time & resource! Join this course to:

• Strengthen your ability to select materials properly by understanding the underlying science (thermal characterstics, mechanical properties…) and its complexities.


• Enhance your plastics part-design by understanding the importance of the effects of time (creep rupture, stress relaxation, environmental stress cracking…).


• Learn how to avoid any defects and deficiencies resulting from the injection molding process (degradation, under-crystallization, flash, warping, sink marks, bubbles…) that can lead to premature part failure.


• Get advice and practical tips on your technical challenges by interacting live with our expert Jeffery Jansen.
