Upcoming Events

Our Injection Molding Development Course is designed to help attendees gain an in-depth understanding of injection molding machines and common practices used to establish and troubleshoot a molding process. We will discuss our unique, research-backed approach to injection molding process development and how to troubleshoot variations utilizing our proprietary Flow Grouping methodologies.

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.

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.

This course is applicable to both Moldflow and non-Moldflow users.

Each module is four hours and runs from 1pm-5pm (EST) daily in English. The Plastic Materials module is designed to give students an overview of various plastic material characteristics.

The Plastics Bootcamp provides course attendees with the introductory, core information they need to understand the basics of each primary discipline of the plastic injection molding industry and what it takes to make a plastic part.

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.

Molding 2 is a 10-day* injection molding training course for experienced processors. This course includes online reviews. *Two 5-day weeks, separated by 6-8 weeks of online reviews.

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

A combination of classroom instruction and hands-on training makes this course an integral part of many companies’ core orientation practices.

The Mold Design module gives students an overview of injection molds, including mold terminology and design considerations.

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 Injection Molding+ Bootcamp module will teach an innovative way to effectively troubleshoot mold filling and part quality variations utilizing Flow Grouping diagnostic methodologies. This module can be taken by itself, but is best when coupled with the Injection Molding Bootcamp course.

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

In this course, students learn features, functionalities and workflows in Autodesk Moldflow Insight through hands-on exercises.
