COURSE OVERVIEW
This course offers a comprehensive overview of silicone elastomers, including basic silicone chemistry, mold manufacturing, information regarding pumping units and molding machines, manufacturing processes, fabrication techniques, problem solving and application areas. Emphasis is on liquid injection molding (LIM/LSR). This course is presented by experts in the silicone field, and time is allotted for special project. This course is unique in that it offers a full day of hands-on process training at M.R. Mold & Engineering Corporation.
FOR MORE INFORMATION & REGISTRATION
The hands-on focus of this course makes it especially useful for anyone working with advanced manufacturing processes. I also like how it combines technical instruction with practical training, since real-world experience often helps connect theory to applications. Even facility considerations, such as choosing durable flooring like Torrance Engineered Wood Flooring, can support well-designed professional workspaces.
