Polymer transformation technology course
Plastic technologies; explore the JAC course to become a Senior Technician in polymer transformation technology
The polymer transformation technology course
The three-year course, the only one of its kind in Italy on the theme of plastic technologies, trains professional figures with a high level of practical and theoretical knowledge that are capable of safely and skilfully managing machinery and auxiliary equipment used in sector businesses for the various techniques of polymer transformation; of choosing the most appropriate thermoplastic, thermosetting and elastomeric materials and their relative compositesin accordance with their use, reuse and recycling; of adopting suitable criteria for the designing of items in plastic and composite materials and the relative moulds; of controlling and supervising the quality of procedures for the design and processing of materials; of providingtechnical and commercial support for companies using machinery and auxiliary equipment, raw materials and composites.
The curriculum for the course is also implemented every two years in order to gather reports and suggestions from sector companies and has been updated in accordance with technological innovation and new economic and environmental requirements, above all for an every wider application of the themes of circular economy and energy saving, with a consequential focus on the criteria for the planning of production cycles for manufactured items and the recovery of the same at the end of their life cycle, as well as the recycling and reuse of raw and secondary materials.
SKILLS
During the polymer transformation technology course, you will acquire the following skills:
- In production; implement the production cycle for an injection-moulded item in plastic (or rubber), having controlled the process parameters regarding the rheology of the materials and having defined the characteristics of the machinery and the auxiliary equipment in accordance with the quality specifications of the item to be produced.
- In the laboratory; carry out the main characterisation tests for items in plastic (or rubber) and relative materials in accordance with the relative technical regulations, interpreting the results of the tests and identifying any necessary corrections to be applied to production.
- In quality control; verify the company work cycle from design to shipping of items in line with the production quality and quantity goals, with reference to ISO 9000 and 14000 standards.
- In the technical design department; collaborate on the designing of an item in plastic (or rubber), in accordance with the quality specifications of the item, its life cycle and recycling; collaborate in the design of the relative mould for the item and any auxiliary equipment, in accordance with the production quality and quantity goals and the available machine inventory.
- In the technical-commercial department; be able to interact with clients in understanding the specific production goals and present the client the range of machinery, complete with all necessary technical details, in line with their expectations in terms of production programming; be able to provide the technical departments with the information acquired, enabling the formulation of technical offers and quotations, also in accordance with company marketing policies.
