What you'll learn
Mould Designing is a professional mechanical and manufacturing design course focused on the complete process of designing plastic injection moulds for industrial components.
The course covers product analysis, mouldability, parting lines, core and cavity design, mould bases, runner and gate systems, ejection systems, cooling channels, venting, sliders, lifters, multi-cavity moulds and advanced mould mechanisms.
Students will learn how to develop a complete mould design from plastic component analysis → parting design → core & cavity → mould base → runner/gate → cooling → ejection → final mould assembly and documentation.
