2 Days of On-Site Skill Development + 10 Advanced Online Courses

This package builds and expands on the Processing Pro training course for advanced employees such as process technicians & engineers. Optimizer Pro will provide the necessary information and skills to optimize many aspects of a Scientific Molding Process — including Injection, Cooling, Recovery, Cooling, and Part Removal. This course is perfect for anyone involved in developing, establishing, evaluating, or optimizing a Scientific Molding Process.

This high-level 2-day training is perfect for anyone involved in developing, establishing, evaluating, and optimizing the scientific molding process. We also offer an optional 1-day add-on workshop to further develop your employees’ process optimization skills.

Prior to the event, participants are required to take online courses to prepare them for focused technical discussions and labs. This preparatory online training allows the instructor to better focus the discussions on your equipment and materials during the actual training session. Online training is also used after the on-site visit — to reinforce and expand upon concepts learning during the hands-on training sessions.
