A graduate of The University of Akron in Chemical Engineering (Polymer Specialized)\, Sam combines rigorous technical training with lifelong curiosity – fueled by books\, seminars\, technical papers\, and hands-on experimentation. His mantra\, “It’s not black magic – it’s Rubber Science!” reflects his drive to uncover answers\, reveal correlations\, and empower others to do the same.  Sam volunteers as Education Committee Chairman for both the ACS Rubber Division and The Los Angeles Rubber Group Inc.\, and has taught the Basic Rubber Technology Course for TLARGI for the past three years. As founder of Rheologix\, he consults across the elastomer industry – spanning automotive\, medical\, oil & gas\, and aerospace/defense – leveraging best practices to bridge R&D and real-world manufacturing. He has mastered balancing the three pillars of elastomer success: compounding\, tooling\, and processing.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Optimizing Rubber Molding Process through Advanced Simulations
DESCRIPTION:Webinar Description: In this webinar\, attendees will learn how simulating the behavior of rubber\, silicones and LSRs during injection\, transfer and compression molding process can help understand the root cause of various molding issues like imbalances\, air\, uneven curing\, flashing\, etc. Continuous improvements in part design\, mold design and molding process are essential for maintaining a competitive edge in the ever-expanding rubber molding market. By using advanced CAE simulation technologies\, design phases can be shortened\, molding process can be predicted and molded parts can be optimized. \nObjectives & What Will Be Covered: \n\nUse of simulation of rubber materials to accurately predict flow behavior and shear-induced heating effects\nNew fully automatic BLM (Boundary Layer Mesh) technology used to create accurate mesh density in required areas\nLearn how high shear rates in thin film or pin gates and thin wall thicknesses can cause shear-induced heat which influences viscosity\, flow behavior and flow-induced premature scorch and cure effects.\n\nIn this webinar\, several real-life production examples will demonstrate how advanced mesh technologies can be used to better predict shear-induced material flow behavior though the transfer molding process. In addition\, how the shot size and process condition will affect flow length and vent location will be presented. \nPrice: Free for Members / $99 Non-members \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER. \nInstructor: Harshal Bhogesra\, Moldex3D \nBio: Harshal Bhogesra has over 9 years of combined experience in molding and customer and supplier development. He is passionate about optimizing product design\, tool development\, molding processes and quality. Harshal is currently working with rubber\, LSR\, silicone and plastic molding companies to help them eliminate their complex molding challenges like air entrapment\, filling imbalances\, knit lines\, uneven curing\, shrinkage\, etc. \nThrough Moldex3D technology\, he has helped clients reduce engineering time and cost in various industries including defense\, automotive\, medical\, aerospace\, electronics\, consumer products\, etc. who are concerned by the trial and errors on the production floor. \nOutside of work\, he enjoys traveling\, interior designing\, NFL\, and adventure sports. \nAbout Moldex3D: Moldex3D is the world-leading CAE simulation platform for injection molding that enables engineers to virtually simulate flow\, curing\, cooling\, and complex material behavior in 3D. It helps identify molding defects\, optimize gate and mold design\, reduce trial-and-error and shorten development cycles. With support for plastics\, silicones\, LSR\, and elastomers\, Moldex3D bridges design and production to deliver higher quality parts faster.
