SmartTech PVC Extrusion Pro™
On-Site Scientific Molding Training for Technicians, Supervisors, and Engineers
Routsis Training’s SmartTech Extrusion Pro™ provides participants with a well-rounded understanding of Scientific Injection Molding. Participants learn practical strategies for developing, documenting, and troubleshooting a Scientific Injection Molding process. This course is perfect for die setters, process techs, engineers, supervisors, and managers.
Prior to the event, participants are required to take online training to prepare them for focused technical discussions. The onsite training event itself can be either 1 or 2 days† long, depending on your company’s needs. After the event, participants must complete additional online training — reinforcing the classroom discussions and preparing them for the completion exam.
Routsis Training’s SmartTech Extrusion Pro™ course is available for both single-screw and twin-screw extrusion operations. Please let us know which processes you are running at your facility.
