Why attend
Stop processing the machine. Start processing the plastic.
Most injection moulding problems do not begin with the machine. They begin with the plastic.
Processors can spend countless hours adjusting machine settings to correct problems that are actually caused by changes in what the plastic is experiencing. The result is unnecessary troubleshooting, inconsistent quality and processes that are difficult to duplicate or transfer.
In this live webinar, Eric Dawkins will introduce the Plastic's Point of View, a practical approach that shifts attention from what the machine is set to do to what the plastic is actually experiencing throughout the moulding cycle.
Machine settings tell you what the machine was asked to do. The plastic tells you what actually happened.
What we will cover
A practical framework for more stable and repeatable processing
The session follows a clear progression from establishing the right foundations to understanding the variables that truly govern the moulding process.
Part Two
Understand the Plastic
Explore the four variables that govern the behaviour of the plastic and influence the quality of every moulded part.
- Plastic Melt Temperature
- Plastic Flow
- Plastic Pressure
- Plastic Cooling Rate
Part Three
Make It Repeatable
Learn how Universal Variables can be used to understand, monitor and reproduce successful processing conditions.
- Process monitoring
- Process duplication
- Process transfer between machines
What you will take away
Practical ideas you can apply on the shop floor
- Why machine settings alone do not define a stable process
- How to approach problems from the Plastic's Point of View
- How to distinguish symptoms from the source of variation
- How the four Plastic Variables influence part quality
- How to monitor and duplicate successful processing conditions
- How to transfer processes between machines with greater confidence

Meet your presenter
Eric Dawkins
Lead Technical Instructor
Eric Dawkins has spent decades helping manufacturers improve their injection moulding processes through a deeper understanding of plastics behaviour.
Combining extensive industry experience with a practical teaching style, Eric has trained processors around the world to build more stable, repeatable and efficient manufacturing processes.
During this webinar, Eric will explain the principles behind the Plastic's Point of View and demonstrate how understanding what the plastic is experiencing can change the way processors troubleshoot and optimise their moulding processes.
