Mold maintenance tracking software company MoldTrax LLC (Ashland, Ohio) is officially offering discounts on its remaining Component Repair and Polishing, and Texture Design and Repair workshop certification courses. Further, the company provides a better understanding of what each course involves, what attendees are expected to learn below.

The ToolingDocs Component Repair training, running October 20-21, 2020 will show mold maintenance technicians how to repair tooling quickly and accurately versus replacing it or sending it out, resulting in cost savings and enhanced skill levels. Attendees will learn how to rework typical tooling issues such as worn edges, dings, scuffs and scratches with typical tooling found in most molds (injection, blow, compression, etc.) through actual bench work. The rework techniques will include: Laser Welding, TIG Welding, Brazing, Stoning Tooling, Bluing and Fitting Tooling and Polishing Tooling. Students are encouraged to bring samples of their own tooling from their own shops to rework.

In the Texturing Design and Repair Certification running October 22-23, 2020, attendees will learn how designing tooling with texture in mind from the beginning can save time in the end. They will also learn to prevent and solve problems with sink marks, scuff marks, streaking, drag, draft, gloss, paint reflection, texture matching, pad printing and more.

Course highlights include:

  • A deeper understanding of the texture and repair process in a hands-on educational manner
  • How to address issues with Weld, EDM and HAZ, along with how different steels and aluminum affect the texturing and repair process
  • Discovery of functional and visual reasons to choose a particular grain, and why giving this consideration early on in the design phase is so important
  • The ins and outs of what is needed to know to have your textured program/project run hassle free.

MoldTrax is also offering a bonus offer with its Component Repair and Texturing Combo Certification on October 20-23, 2020. The company notes that attendees who sign up for the Component Repair and Texturing Certification Combo course can save $800 on registration fees. This combo course is said to offers two days of intensive hands on bench training learning the skills of TIG and Laser Welding along with stoning and polishing to an SPI A-1 finish, and then another two days learning the secrets of texturing.
