We are said to be living in an era of Plastics since 1974, as the world consumption of plastics from that year onward exceeded that of steel by volume! From household appliances to airplanes, from tooth brushes to telephones, from Computers to cars, everything seems to be made out of plastics these days. Injection moulded plastic parts offer unbeatable combination of Light Weight Construction, Flexibility, Toughness, Chemical Resistance, Long-term Performance and Cost Effectiveness.

The defects in injection moulding may be caused by poor part design, wrong selection of material, poor injection mould design, poor manufacture of mould, non-optimum process parameters and wrong matching of mould with machine amongst others. Knowledge of ways and means of overcoming these defects is necessary to obtain world class injection mouldings.

Keeping this in view, Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers' Association (IMTMA) is organizing a 2 day programme on Defect analysis and troubleshooting of casting on 25 - 26 June 2026 at Pune.

This programme will benefit Managers, Engineers, Designers, Middle Management and technical personnel involved in the functions of Design and Development of moulded components, Processing of moulded parts, Quality Control, mould design and manufacturing.

Pre requisite: This will be an Advanced level programme and the participants need to have basic knowledge of Injection moulds and moulding process.

 Participants need to bring their molding related problems with complete details including part drawing / model, photos and samples for case study discussion and suggested solutions.
