Whether you've always wanted to sit through a PTE class again as a refresher or to simply come to learn what's new since you went through the program, your opportunity is now here...but without all the stress of reviews and exams!

This course is for molders who are responsible for starting up and troubleshooting a mold using a documented process, and for non-molders who are looking for a hands-on injection molding experience.

Do you want a better understanding of plastic materials, their properties, and their relationship to the mold design, injection molding process, and the finished part?

AIM’s Molding Math course was designed to teach you the concepts you need for your job using realistic examples that are found daily in a molding shop. This course can be taken by itself, or serve as a refresher before you jump into one of our Molders’ Series courses or the PTE Program.

AIM’s Mold Design Development Course will help attendees gain a working knowledge of mold design and manufacturing. We break a mold down into its five systems and provide discussions on design strategies for each. Our hands-on labs set this course apart from others in the industry!

The Injection Molding module is designed to give students an overview of the injection molding process.

The Part Design module is designed to give students an overview of strategies and challenges facing plastic part design.

The Simulation Analysis module of our Plastics Bootcamp is designed to give students a basic understanding of simulation and how it is used in the injection molding industry.

The Mold Design+ Bootcamp module is based on the best-selling Runner & Gating Design Handbook by AIM’s founder John P. Beaumont. This module focuses on Runner and Gating Strategies for plastic injection molding. Students can take this module by itself, but is best when coupled with the Mold Design Bootcamp course.

The Plastics Technology and Engineering (PTE) Certificate Program was developed to bridge the knowledge gap between university education and professional experience. It is the most comprehensive plastics education available outside of a university setting.

In this course, students learn about the more complex analysis types available in Autodesk Moldflow Insight that were not covered in the Autodesk Moldflow Insight Fundamentals course
