Mold & Die Design Training

This is not just CAD design—it’s tooling engineering for real manufacturing environments.
Pertecnica Engineering’s Mold & Die Design Training is built for professionals who need to design molds and dies that perform reliably in production, minimize defects, and optimize manufacturing efficiency.

Program Overview

In modern manufacturing, mold and die design directly impacts product quality, cycle time, and cost.

This program trains participants to:

  • Design molds and dies for plastic and metal components
  • Understand tooling requirements for different manufacturing processes
  • Optimize designs for production efficiency
  • Reduce defects such as shrinkage, warpage, and flash
  • Develop production-ready tooling designs

Participants gain the ability to deliver high-performance tooling solutions aligned with industrial manufacturing needs.

What Makes This Training Different

Most courses focus only on modeling.
This program focuses on tooling performance and manufacturing outcomes.

Key differentiators:

  • Focus on real mold and die manufacturing processes
  • Emphasis on defect prevention and quality improvement
  • Integration of design + production workflow
  • Exposure to industrial tooling standards and practices
  • Project-based learning aligned with manufacturing scenarios

Core Learning Outcomes

By the end of the program, participants will be able to:

  • Design molds for plastic injection and dies for metal forming
  • Understand tooling components and assembly
  • Optimize mold and die designs for production efficiency
  • Analyze common defects and implement solutions
  • Prepare detailed drawings and documentation
  • Improve product quality and reduce manufacturing costs
