Design Of Experiments For Injection Molding

A 2-Day Hands-On Seminar 

The goal of this seminar is to provide the knowledge for achieving a robust ‘dimensional’ process. This seminar introduces the concept of Design of Experiments (DOE) for injection molding. The results from a hands-on DOE are analyzed to access the part quality. Process robustness based on dimensions is discussed and data-driven solutions to achieve the required robustness are provided.

Brief Syllabus:

• Why Design of Experiments (DOE)
• Is SIM the Same as DOE
• Process Development for IM
• Factor Selection for IM
• Analysis of Results
• Cautions, Exceptions, Procedures
• Simple Plan to Get Started with DOEs

Hands-on portion will involve developing an entire process using SIM and DOE for a given mold. The attendees will be involved in running parts, measuring parts and performing the analysis.
