Presenter: Vikram Bhargava

Topic: “How Part Design Issues Get Misclassified as Material, Tooling, and Processing Issues”
-For a plastic part or assembly to perform as expected, proper consideration needs to be given by the design engineer to the material selection, tooling, processing, and, obviously, the design itself. In many instances, design errors are misclassified as tooling, processing, and material issues. Design errors are sometimes even blamed on customer abuse. Many real-life examples will be used to identify the real issues resulting in failures – improper design. This will be enhanced with a detailed explanation of the ultimate cause for the failure.
