The topics have been designed to enhance injection molding, extrusion molding, blow molding and thermoforming knowledge levels regardless of tenure as a plastics industry professional.
Produced by industry thought-leader Plastic Technologies, Inc. (PTI), the SPE FastTrack training program will be held on October 31 - November 3, 2011 at the Chicago Hilton/Indian Lakes Resort, Bloomingdale, Ill. Participants can elect to sign up for the full four days or choose from an “ala carte course menu” to better suit their area(s) of interest.
“The course material has been designed so that it is of value to veterans, industry newcomers and anyone in between. The instructors have built teaching modules around both 'principles' and 'fundamentals' in relevant topics areas. For the veterans, we view this as an excellent refresher. For the newcomers, the information will help add to their knowledge base,” said Scott Steele, vice president, PTI.
Course options include: mold design and building; plastic materials and processing; extrusion of engineered plastics; reheat stretch blow molding; injection molding troubleshooting; plastic component failure analysis; thermoplastic elastomers, thermoforming process technology, plastic part purchasing and quoting; screw design; snap/press fits and plastics welding; blow mold tooling and part design; rheology, biopolymers and other new technology.
“The course material will be presented by subject matter experts. Instructors will not only be discussing current technologies, but they will also be offering their considerable insight on what they expect to be happening in the future,” Steele said. “Additionally, the small class size facilitates interaction and enhances the learning experience.”
Fees range from $795 for a single day to $2,870 for participation in a full four-day track. Discounts are available for groups of three or more. Fees include materials, lunches, networking breaks and transportation to/from O'Hare airport. To register, or for more information click here or call 419 867-5413.
