Learn Precision Extrusion Technology in One Day

Introduction

The Japan IR Institute of Engineering Education is excited to announce its upcoming online seminar titled "Introduction to Precision Extrusion Technology." This seminar aims to cater specifically to those who are new to extrusion molding processes, such as tubes, films, and sheets, which are integral to numerous manufacturing environments.

Understanding extrusion processes often relies heavily on experience, which can lead to varying interpretations of terminology and criteria among different technicians. This discrepancy can cause significant challenges, especially for beginners and younger professionals who may find limited opportunities to systematically learn the foundational aspects of extrusion technology. The objective of this course is to establish a common language and understanding of conventional wisdom in extrusion technology that can be applied on the job.

Seminar Overview

• - Title: Introduction to Precision Extrusion Technology
• - Format: Online via Zoom
• - Date and Time: May 29, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM
• - Fee: ¥49,500 (tax included) per participant (discount available for multiple registrations)
• - Instructor: Takashi Kaneko (Director of Kaneko Technical Consulting Office)

Course Details

The seminar is structured for those who are entering the field of extrusion molding for the first time and covers both theoretical and practical aspects essential for effective operations. The course will commence with basic material properties and the relationship between viscosity and molding processes, ensuring accessibility to individuals without a background in polymer science.

Participants will learn about the components and functions of single-screw extruders, the concept of plasticization, and the foundational processes involved in extrusion molding.

Advanced Topics

In the latter part of the seminar, attendees will explore basics of die design and screws, as well as practical examples relevant to different types of resins. Furthermore, common extrusion defects frequently encountered in the field will be categorized, and strategies for troubleshooting based on actual experiences will be discussed.

The seminar will also delve into Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) analyses, providing insights through experimental data, simulation outcomes, and computational models to enhance comprehension.

Additionally, there will be discussions on specialized extrusion techniques, such as small-diameter extrusion for medical applications, as well as examples of complex extrusion processes, including multi-layer tube forming.
