Course programme
“An effective design course,that now includes a practical design session using CIMATRON mould design software. The course focusses & the fundamental reasons choices made during mould design and the reasons behind them."
Procurement of moulds is also key to this training, attempting to identify the reasons which disrupt the manufacture, delivery & trialling of injection moulds.
