E-Learning.
Learning independent of space and time.

E-learning offers learners a flexible, cost-effective, and engaging way to acquire new knowledge and skills, making it an increasingly popular option for individuals and organizations. It offers the following advantages:

Accessibility of knowledge
E-learning allows learners to access learning content from anywhere, at any time. This means that learners can learn at their own pace and on their own schedule.
Cost-effective
E-learning eliminates travel and accommodation costs, making it a cost-effective alternative to traditional classroom learning.
Flexibility
E-learning allows learners to customize their learning experience to their specific needs and preferences.
Higher learning impact
E-learning incorporates multimedia elements such as videos, animations, and interactive quizzes that increase learner engagement and improve retention.
Sustainability
E-learning can help reduce the environmental footprint by eliminating the need for travel and paper-based materials.
Individuality
SKZ also creates individual, company-specific e-learning content that companies can use on their internal learning platforms. Feel free to contact us about this.

E-Learning: Density of plastics

The density of a plastic is an important material parameter, knowledge of which is essential for processing in particular. The density can be varied by certain additives, such as fillers and additives, or processes, such as foaming. Determining the density of a material is also non-trivial. In addition to the bulk density of a plastic, bulk density and pourability are also important characteristic values for plastic pellets. You will have access to this course for 12 weeks from booking. You will receive a certificate of completion after passing the learning test.

E-Learning: Chemical Basics of Polymers

Polymers are large molecules made up of repeating units called monomers. The process of polymerization involves chemically bonding multiple monomers together to form a polymer. There are three main types of polymerization: radical polymerization, addition polymerization and condensation polymerization. In free-radical polymerization, monomers with double bonds are linked in a chain reaction by activation with a catalyst. An example for this reaction is the formation of polyethylene. In addition polymerization monomers with two reactive functional groups react with each other. An example is the chemical reaction of isocyanate and polyol to form Polyurethane. In condensation polymerization, again monomers with two reactive functional groups react with each other. But this reaction results in the loss of a small molecule, such as water or alcohol. An example is the formation of nylon-6,6. Regardless of the type of polymerization, the resulting polymer has a much larger molecular weight than the individual monomers due to the repetition of the monomer units. Polymers can have a variety of physical and chemical properties, depending on the specific monomers and the way they are linked together. You will have access to this course for 12 weeks from booking. You will receive a certificate of completion after passing the learning test.

E-Learning: Binder Jetting

The term "3D printing", which was coined by the inventor, has now become a generic term for all 3D printing processes. To avoid misunderstandings, the abbreviation "3DP" is therefore often used. Equally common is the term "binder jetting", which already allows initial conclusions to be drawn about the basic principle. This is very similar to the way a classic office inkjet printer works. However, here the paper is replaced by a powder material. You will have access to this course for 12 weeks from booking. You will receive a certificate of completion after passing the learning test.

E-Learning: Material Jetting

In addition to binder jetting, material jetting is another additive manufacturing process based on an inkjet printhead. In material jetting the entire material discharge takes place via the nozzles of the printhead. The process builds up the model layer by layer from its cross-sectional surfaces, which were generated from the original CAD model by software called a slicer. Material jetting allows for the finest details and small layer thicknesses. Hard/soft mixtures are just as printable as transparent or colored models. Most sources attribute the invention to Objet, a company founded in Israel in 1998, which launched the process under the name Polyjet Modeling (PJM) in 2000. However, a parallel development also took place at 3D Systems, which, according to its own homepage, already had a printer in its portfolio in 1996 based on the same basic principle, which they called Multijet Modeling (MJM). You will have access to this course for 12 weeks from booking. You will receive a certificate of completion after passing the learning test.

Introduction to plastics technology

E-Learning: Classification of plastics

Not all plastics are the same. The chemical structure of the polymers and the bonds between the polymer chains ensure fundamentally different properties. Therefore, plastics can be classified into three main categories: thermoplastics, thermosets, and elastomers. Thermoplastics can be heated and shaped multiple times without undergoing any chemical change in their molecular structure. They have a linear or branched chain structure and are usually produced by polymerization of small molecules called monomers. Thermosets undergo a permanent chemical change when heated and shaped. This process is called curing or crosslinking, and it forms a three-dimensional network structure that cannot be reshaped or softened by heat. Elastomers plastics that have rubber-like properties and can stretch and return to their original shape when released. They are formed by crosslinking polymer chains and have a three-dimensional network structure. You will have access to this course for 12 weeks from booking. You will receive a certificate of completion after passing the learning test.

E-Learning: Glass transition for plastics

The glass transition for plastics is often a book with seven seals, even for plastics experts. The processes and effects of this softening point, which occurs in amorphous plastics but can also be observed in semi-crystalline plastics, thermosets and elastomers, are too complex. This e-learning explains in a clear and funny way the thermodynamic and morphological consideration of the glass transition and also shows the practical implications on the part of the machine operator and designer.
