Mould4Plast – Training in Plastic Mould Making

While mould tech­ni­ci­ans tend to have a lot of knowledge in metal mould making, the European auto­mo­ti­ve industry has called for further invest­ment in training experts in plastic mould making for years. Specific training oppor­tu­ni­ties are currently scarce, which is why a European con­sor­ti­um came together to change this within the framework of a tangible Erasmus+ project.

The aim of the project is to develop an inno­va­ti­ve, learning outcome-based training (CPD) cur­ri­cu­lum to create a learner-centred and inter­ac­ti­ve learning envi­ron­ment. 3s is respon­si­ble for the deve­lo­p­ment of the pro­fes­sio­nal profile defining the required skills and knowledge in plastic mould making. The training includes both digital and hands-on learning as well as coope­ra­ti­ve learning methods. Pilot tests will take place in the partner countries Slovakia, Spain and the Czech Republic in the form of further training modules in plastic mould making. A manual will support all inte­re­sted trainers and training providers in imple­men­ting similar training courses in the future.
