Senior Instructor & Development Manager for Plastics Education Training @American Injection Molding Aim Institute

The AIM Institute was founded with one focus on our minds.Education for the Plastics Industry. Our continuing education and training courses include a wide variety of topics that teach people how to think form the plastics perspective.from design through production. The three main bodies of the AIM Institute are:1. Certificate Program in Plastics Technology & Engineering, consisting of courses in Plastic Materials, Mold Design & Engineering, Injection Molding, and Part Design2. Plastic Professional Development Courses with topics ranging from Mold Design, Processing, Shrink & Warp to Optimizing Melt Delivery Systems and Understanding Flow Simulation.3. Autodesk Moldflow Training courses for both the Insight and Advisor product lines, from Fundamentals to Advanced Cool & Warp.From pellets to parts, the plastics education we offer emphasizes the in-depth relationships between the plastic material and rheology, the part and mold, processing, and part quality. We teach our students to think through complex questions and problems while considering all variables so that they can engineer solutions based on science.not habits.
