Description

The course begins by explaining the differences between 2-plate and 3-plate molds, and then transitions into considerations for each of the 5 systems of the mold: ejection, venting, structural, melt delivery, and cooling.

Students will then experience a virtual mold tour, including videos of a complete mold disassembly and reassembly while interacting live with the instructor.
