New Online Course from Routsis Training Teaches Proper Documentation for Scientific Injection Molding

Dracut, MA — Routsis Training, the premier training provider for the plastics industry, announces the release of Process Documentation for Scientific Molders, a new online training course that works on all platforms, web browsers, tablets, and smartphones, as do all Routsis courses.

“Although all of our Scientific Molding courses underscore the importance of documenting machine-independent process information, techs should also document and note changes when running any process,” says Andy Routsis, President of Routsis Training. “This comprehensive course allows them to do that. It covers the importance of proper documentation for both machine inputs and outputs, and the procedures for documenting and maintaining a Scientific Molding Process.”

Course participants will learn the definition of scientific process documentation, the differences between machine-dependent and machine-independent process documentation, how to document processes for hybrid machines, along with how to document barrel and recovery, 1st stage injection, 2nd stage packing, part cooling, and mold clamping.
