Cool Stuff: Troubleshooting flipchart

When something is wrong with your parts (and there almost always is at some point), it’s helpful to know what corrective action to take. To aid molders in this common situation, IDES (Laramie, WY), developer of Prospector online materials database, is now offering a troubleshooting flipchart for injection molding ($4.95 at www.ides.com). The front page of the 8.5-by-11-inch, heavy-cardstock chart helps identify defects while the back page lists recommended fixes.
