About the Event
This webinar will work through identifying the basic steps and requirements to efficiently and properly conduct a successful conversion to plastics. We will review the metal replacement design process from concept to production. Our webinar will speak to the benefi¬ts of metal replacement, how to staff your design team, what are the key considerations of the design process, along with the plastic issues, part and mold tool design, and overall tooling, fabrication, initial part design, and prototyping. The emphasis is on injection molding because it is the major process that is used in metals replacement.
