DDSP Design
Learn how to ensure your plastic parts are of a high quality and manufacturable. This module explores the design rules that contribute to good part design for plastics from both a manufacturing and an environmental perspective. Design for more advanced manufacturing techniques is examined. Includes good tool design, prototyping, simulation and 3D printing.
Objectives ……
- Learn the basic part design ‘rules’ for plastics and identify key considerations for effective design for manufacture and assembly.
- Learn the process of selecting materials and additives for your design
- Examine advanced manufacturing techniques including in-mold decoration, co-moulding, co-injection and gas/water injection
- Understand the basics of tooling including design features, ejection and gating
- Explore 3D printing, prototyping and CAE simulation.
- Understand design for the environment considerations
