Injection molders are often tasked to do more with less. We rely on a combination of factors to mold smaller parts with greater precision to satisfy growing demands and higher production levels — all within a smaller space.
In this context, polycarbonate has become a popular material for modern products and injection molding applications. Manufacturers and designers increasingly select polycarbonate for its high impact resistance, stiffness, optical clarity, lightweight, and dimensional stability.
Because polycarbonate is an engineering resin, it requires more care and attention than commodity resins to process. This webinar will address the question: How are leading manufacturers leveraging polycarbonate and their skill base to meet their production and business objectives?
Attend this webinar and learn:
The properties that make polycarbonate an attractive choice for material selection
Considerations for part design
Best practices for processing equipment and functionality, from pellet to final part
How to troubleshoot defects
Case studies and examples of success using polycarbonate
