SOLIDWORKS Plastics Standard Simulation Training
SOLIDWORKS Plastics Standard Simulation training course teaches users how to simulate early stages of the injection moulding process to improve performance.
Course Overview
For plastic part designers, SOLIDWORKS Plastics Standard simulates the early stages of the injection moulding process to allow prediction of manufacturing problems early on and in turn reduce part defects and production lead times. Commonly Plastics Standard is also used as a communication tool to help designers share their thoughts with customers or manufacturers.
NOTE: This course is available as part of the Gold & Platinum Training Passports.
