How does the molding of medical products differ from molding everyday commercial products? If you design medical devices, you need to know. For starters, medical products are more demanding with regard to structural integrity, tolerances, and consistency. Each of these can be varied by how time, temperature, pressure, and cooling are controlled within the molding process.

To elaborate on each of these and more, we've asked molding expert Chuck Brewer III and C. Brewer Co.'s scientific molding guru Robert Fortune to explain how scientific methods can optimize the intrinsic integrity of the parts you design. Our expert guests will bring us up-to-date on significant technology changes and current trends in the world of injection molding.

And we’ll answer questions such as:

• What’s so tricky about converting plastic pellets from a solid into a fluid, and back to a solid?
• How can a precision steel mold built to 0.0001-in. accuracy make a bad part?
• How do variations in time, temperature, pressure, and cooling affect a plastic part?
• And more importantly, we'll challenge our experts with your unique questions…real time!
