Plastics (Injection Molded Parts) Product Design with CAD (Solidworks)

OBJECTIVE / Injection molded plastics parts usage in various applications are growing such as medical devices - drug-dispensing systems, diagnostic, surgical implants, analytical system, disposable products, MP3 players, printers, consumer electronics, industrial sensors and more. Plastics continueto replace metals, glass and traditional materials in above mentioned industries. Purpose of the course is to educate mechanical engineers, designers and students involved in designing complicated injection molded mechanical components/systems with 3-D CAD such as Solidworks and Pro/E. This course teaches you basic & advance features in designing/evaluating plastics parts with 3-D CAD systems.
