Semester 1 DDSP Design (Part 4) of the Diploma in Design & Specification of Plastics is scheduled to run in June 2024.

DDSP Design

Learn how to ensure your plastic parts are of a high quality and manufacturable. This module explores the design rules that contribute to good part design for plastics from both a manufacturing and an environmental perspective. Design for more advanced manufacturing techniques is examined. Includes good tool design, prototyping, simulation and 3D printing.

Objectives ……

• Learn the basic part design ‘rules’ for plastics and identify key considerations for effective design for manufacture and assembly.
• Learn the process of selecting materials and additives for your design
• Examine advanced manufacturing techniques including in-mold decoration, co-moulding, co-injection and gas/water injection
• Understand the basics of tooling including design features, ejection and gating
• Explore 3D printing, prototyping and CAE simulation.
• Understand design for the environment considerations
