Every injection-molded plastic part you touch daily — from a smartphone case to an automotive dashboard — began as a precisely engineered mold. This Micro-Diploma transforms you into a mold design and manufacturing practitioner who can translate product requirements into production-ready tooling.
What You Will Learn
- 1 Learn the complete mold design process from product analysis to final tool release.
- 2 Understand mold material properties, heat treatment, and selection criteria for different applications.
- 3 Apply CAD principles to create core, cavity, side-core, and ejection systems.
- 4 Conduct mold flow analysis to predict fill, cooling, and warpage.
- 5 Explore mold manufacturing processes including CNC machining, EDM, and grinding.
- 6 Identify key mold components (sprue, runners, gates, cooling channels) and their design rules.
- 7 Implement maintenance schedules and repair techniques to extend mold life.
- 8 Use quality inspection methods such as CMM, optical scanning, and tryout validation.
- 9 Evaluate advanced technologies like hot runner systems, multi-cavity molds, and conformal cooling.
- 10 Calculate mold cost estimates and manage projects using structured workflows.
