SmartTech Optimizer Pro™
On-Site Scientific Molding Training for Advanced Technicians, Supervisors, and Engineers
Intended for advanced employees, this package expands on topics covered in our Processor Pro™ event. Optimizer Pro™ delivers the necessary knowledge & skills to optimize many aspects of a Scientific Molding Process — including Injection, Cooling, Recovery, Cooling, and Part Removal. This course is recommeded for all personnel involved in developing, establishing, evaluating, or optimizing a Scientific Molding Process.
Prior to the event, participants are required to take online training to prepare them for focused technical discussions. The onsite training event itself can be 1, 2, or 3 days† long, depending on your company’s needs. After the event, participants must complete additional online training — reinforcing the classroom discussions and preparing them for the completion exam.
