Hard Skills
IntermediateVisual InspectionThe process of examining moulded plastic parts for surface defects such as discoloration, flow lines, or surface irregularities using the naked eye or magnifying tools.
IntermediateDimensional MetrologyThe application of precision measuring instruments like calipers, micrometers, and height gauges to ensure plastic parts meet specified tolerances.
AdvancedPlastic Defect IdentificationThe ability to recognize and categorize specific injection molding flaws such as flash, sink marks, short shots, warping, and silver streaks.
AdvancedBlueprint and Technical Drawing InterpretationReading and understanding engineering drawings, including Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) symbols, to determine inspection criteria.
IntermediateQuality Documentation and ReportingAccurately recording inspection findings, non-conformance reports (NCR), and maintaining batch traceability logs.
IntermediateStatistical Process Control (SPC)The use of statistical methods and control charts to monitor and control the quality of the plastic moulding process.
