DESCRIPTION:In today&rsquo\;s competitive market\, the selection of the ri
 ght plastic material is paramount to the success of any product. With a v
 ast array of resins available\, understanding their properties and how th
 ey impact performance\, design\, and manufacturability is crucial. This c
 omprehensive two and a half day LIVE and IN PERSON training course is des
 igned to equip you with the knowledge and skills necessary to make inform
 ed plastic material selection decisions.\n\nCourse Overview:\n\nThis inte
 nsive program will guide you through a systematic approach to plastic mat
 erial selection\, empowering you to optimize your product design and manu
 facturing processes. We will delve into the fundamental aspects of plasti
 c materials\, from their basic structure to their key properties\, and ex
 plore how these factors influence end-product performance.\n\nWhat You Wi

 ely narrow down candidate materials.\n		Evaluate a material&rsquo\;s suit
 ability for specific application environments.\n		Discover how to leverag
 e simulation tools for enhanced material selection.\n		Understand the cri
 tical quality and risk management considerations involved.\n	\n	\n	Case S
 tudies:\n	\n		Apply your newly acquired knowledge through real-world indu
 stry material selection examples.\n		Practice and refine your skills in a
  practical\, hands-on environment.\n	\n	\n\n\nBenefits of Attending:\n\n\
 n	Develop a systematic and optimized approach to plastic material selecti
 on.\n	Gain a deep understanding of resin properties and their impact on p
 roduct performance.\n	Learn to navigate the complexities of material data
 sheets and selection tools.\n	Minimize the risk of product failure due to
  improper material selection.\n	Enhance your ability to design for manufa
 cturability and optimize production processes.\n\n\nThis LIVE and IN PERS
 ON training course provides an interactive and engaging learning experien
 ce\, allowing you to network with industry professionals and gain valuabl
 e insights from expert instructors. By the end of this course\, you will 
 be equipped with the confidence and knowledge to make informed plastic ma
