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.

SUMMARY:Course: An Introduction to Continuous Vulcanization
DESCRIPTION:October 28\, 2026; 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. ET \nCEUs: 0.66 (To receive the CEUs\, attendees must attend the course live and promptly complete the survey evaluation after the course.) \nLocation: This course is available virtually only. It can be taken from the comfort of your home or office – remotely from any tablet\, laptop or computer. \nCourse Overview: This course was developed for rubber industry employees who currently use Continuous Vulcanization (CV) processes and wish to expand their knowledge or those who wish to gain insights into these processes and how they can be used. \nThis course will offer an overview of the variety of commercially viable Continuous Vulcanization processes and their strengths and weaknesses. Following that\, it will take the participants into a more in-depth study of the three most common forms of CV\, Liquid Curing Media (LCM)\, better known as the Salt Bath process\, Hot Air Vulcanization (HAV) and Microwave/Hot Air Vulcanization. The emphasis will be on practical knowledge that can be utilized in production along with safety concerns that always need to be addressed. \nWe will begin by looking at the common elements to all three processes\, namely the extruder and its auxiliary components\, plus downstream equipment for cooling and pulling. The course then will look at each of the three CV processes individually\, giving useful ideas for process improvements that the participants can apply in their own manufacturing. The course will conclude with a brief look at rubber compound development for these CV processes and will conclude with a question and answer session. \nPrice: $745 Members / $845 Non-members / Free for Undergraduate Student Members / $100 Other Student Members \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER. \nInstructor: Richard D.
