Paulson Molder 2 is a four day classroom and hands-on injection molding technology course.

This course is for: Technicians, Setup Personnel, Lead Persons, Foremen, Process Engineers, and others who are, or will become, key production personnel in the future. This course is designed for production personnel who:

1. Need to understand the relationship of the molding machine controls to the plastic conditions in the mold and the resultant molded part properties.

2. Will benefit from practice in setting machine controls, observing the results, and solving molded part problems.

Attendance Pre-requisites: A prerequisite to take this course is satisfactory completion of the Paulson Molder 1 course or the equivalent Paulson CD or web-based training. Others having molding experience may attend this course by passing a pre-assessment test provided by Paulson.

Course Summary: Paulson Molder 2 is a two part course. The first part explains the plastic properties and behavior that affects part quality, the scientific basis and the technology of molding. This is followed by a detailed analysis of common molded part defects, their causes and solutions (attendees may bring molded part examples their plants for analysis).

The second part is hands-on molding practice using both the Paulson injection molding simulator* to provide each student hands-on practice in setting and observing the effects of each machine control on the plastic and the molded parts and problem-solving. This is followed by a molding laboratory on an actual machine to demonstrate some of the information previously taught and shown.
