The 3-day course has theory and practical elements, and has found major favour with Designers needing a clear and efficient fast-track to the industry and its terminology.
Improved communication with professionals from all sectors ranks alongside the importance of technical aspects of mould and product design and the overarching importance of polymer properties in all decision-making areas, from cost to performance.
It gets under the skin of design, where the many trade-offs required are explained.
