<b>Blow Molding: Process and Part Design Fundamentals</b> 
<br /> 
      This intense 2-days lecture is providing a clear understanding of plastic blow
      molding polymers and various blow molding processes allowing <a target="_blank" href="http://www.dow.com/PublishedLiterature/dh_004b/0901b8038004b900.pdf?filepath=/PublishToInternet/InternetDOWCOM/plastics_eur/pdfs/noreg/260-12801,/PublishToInternet/InternetDOWCOM/plastics_na/pdfs/noreg/260-12801&fromPage=BasicSearch" style="color: #0000FF"> 
      optimization of the material</a> -process selection function.
      It provides basic design principles for blow molded parts.
<br /> 
<br /> 
 
<b><a href="http://www.ets-corp.com/assembly.htm">Designing Plastics Parts for Assembly</a></b> 
<br /> 
      This course makes <a target="_blank" href="http://www.turkcadcam.net/rapor/pek-esnek-mentese/index.html" style="color: #0000FF"> 
      design procedures</a> and
      assembly methods and technique easier to use and select.&nbsp; It increases understanding of what to expect from a
      polymer when used in various applications. Provides a detailed discussion of methods and methodologies used to make
      the design process as easy as possible.
<br /> 
<br /> 
<b>Fusible Core Injection Molding Technology</b> 
<br /> 
 
      The lecture provides a detailed background
      of the principles behind the state of art technology describing its
      history, market segmentation, advantages, disadvantages, proper part
      design considerations, part/system functional design, metal alloy core
      geometry and alloy Casting. Also details processing procedures and
      considerations such as plastic overmolding, melt-out process, secondary
      operations, CAE tools and core casting.
<br /> 
<br /> 
<b>Integral Seal Design</b> 
<br /> 
      Presents advanced design techniques
      using integral seal methods applicable to thermoplastic resins and
      thermoplastic elastomers as well as good understanding of advanced finite element
      analysis (FEA) techniques. A step by step approach highlights key
      material properties and how to utilize them in complex finite element
      analysis necessary for a successful leak-free assembly.
<br /> 
<br /> 
<b>Material Selection and Specification</b> 
<br /> 
     Provides in-depth introduction to polymers
     while using typical application examples to demonstrate the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.sme.org/cgi-bin/communities.pl?/communities/techgroups/plastic_injection/plastics_solution_center/part_design.htm&&&SME&" style="color: #0000FF">characteristics</a> 
     that set plastics apart from one another. A large variety of testing methods
     and material selection processes are explained in&nbsp;a practical 
     manner covering a wide range of topics from chemical and thermal 
     analysis to simple techniques and tests effective in a production environment.    
<br /> 
<br /> 
<b>Plastic Joint Design</b> 
<br /> 
     The course deals with specific 
     joint design characteristics and their manufacturing
     techniques: welding (ultrasonic, spin, hot plate), heat staking,
     adhesive and solvent bonding and the like. Integrating most of the
     above techniques by means of <a target="_blank" href="http://www.profilesmagazine.com/p15/tips_spinal.html" style="color: #0000FF"> living
     hinges</a>, press fit and snap fit assemblies
     reduces the number of components and results in a better joint design overall.
<br /> 
<br /> 
<b>Plastic Part Design</b> 
<br /> 
     Introduction to designing plastic components and
     systems. Shows how these designs differ from similarly components initially of metals.
<br /> 
<br /> 
<b>Polypropylene: Product Design and Processing</b> 
<br /> 
     The seminar provides an overview of
     product market positioning, global players and suppliers and their
     associated value chain. Also includes hard to find <a target="_blank" href="http://www.dow.com/PublishedLiterature/dh_004b/0901b8038004b900.pdf?filepath=/PublishToInternet/InternetDOWCOM/plastics_eur/pdfs/noreg/260-12801,/PublishToInternet/InternetDOWCOM/plastics_na/pdfs/noreg/260-12801&fromPage=BasicSearch" style="color: #0000FF">details</a>,
