June 5 – Course: Mastering Elastomer Molding – Reduce Costs & Improve Production Efficiency with Simulation – Instructors: Paul Merda from Akron Rubber Development Laboratory, Deepika Gaddam and Eric Gerber from SIGMA Plastic Services, Inc.

This course is in-person at Akron Rubber Development Laboratory in Barberton, OH. Tour and lunch included.

Elastomer molding presents unique challenges – curing time estimation, material waste, uneven cavity filling, flash, weld lines and non-fills – all of which contribute to costly delays and inefficiencies. Traditionally, these issues are addressed through trial and error or mold redesign, increasing expenses and impacting production timelines. This session will explore how simulation technology can optimize the molding process, reduce costs and improve efficiency. Led by industry experts, this session will provide practical insights and real-world applications to help you move beyond guesswork and towards a more efficient, cost-effective, elastomer molding process.

This session will explore how simulation technology can optimize the molding process, reduce costs and improve efficiency. Learn how to:

  • enhance part design to minimize defects and improve manufacturability.
  • develop optimized gating strategies for uniform multi cavity filling.
  • leverage thermal analysis to improve curing and cycle time.
  • utilize simulation-driven optimization to streamline production.

Led by industry experts, this session will provide practical insights and real-world applications to help you move beyond guesswork and towards a more efficient, cost-effective, elastomer molding process. Join us to discover how simulation can transform your molding operations and give your business a competitive edge!
