We are said to be living in an era of Plastics since 1974, as the world consumption of plastics from that year onward exceeded that of steel by volume! From household appliances to airplanes, from tooth brushes to telephones, from Computers to cars, everything seems to be made out of plastics these days. Injection moulded plastic parts offer unbeatable combination of Light Weight Construction, Flexibility, Toughness, Chemical Resistance, Long-term Performance and Cost Effectiveness.

The defects in injection moulding may be caused by poor part design, wrong selection of material, poor injection mould design, poor manufacture of mould, non-optimum process parameters and wrong matching of mould with machine amongst others. Knowledge of ways and means of overcoming these defects is necessary to obtain world class injection mouldings.

Keeping this in view, Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers' Association (IMTMA) is organizing a training program on "Fundamentals of Injection Mould Design".

This programme will benefit New Recruits, Junior Engineers, Designers, Supervisors, and technical personnel involved in the functions of Design and Development of moulded components, Processing of moulded parts, Quality Control, mould design and manufacturing.

This program will be delivered by Mr. Ramesh Srinivasa Rao.
