2 Days On-Site Training + 11 Advanced Online Courses
This package provides participants with a well-rounded understanding of Scientific Injection Molding. SmartTech™ Processor Pro is perfect for die setters, technicians, engineers, supervisors, and managers.
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.
This advanced 2-day training is focused on the advanced skills of building, documenting, and troubleshooting a Scientific Molding process. We also offer an optional 1-day add-on workshop to further develop your employees’ scientific processing skills.
The SmartTech™ Processor Pro program combines:
- Pre-Requisite Online Training
- Face-to-Face Instruction
- Hands-On Skills Development
- Post-Requisite Online Training
- SmartTech™ Processor Pro Completion Exam
