The Polymers Center is excited to announce our new Extrusion Fundamentals course, led by industry expert Scott Lambert. Designed for both newcomers and seasoned professionals, this comprehensive two-day training offers a valuable opportunity to deepen understanding of extrusion principles.

The course combines one day of classroom instruction with one day of hands-on training, ensuring participants gain both theoretical insights and practical experience. Lambert emphasizes a dynamic and interactive learning environment, encouraging attendees to share their perspectives. With professionals from various companies working with different equipment, the diversity of viewpoints enhances the learning experience for all.


The curriculum covers essential topics such as an introduction to various polymer types, molecular weight, and rheology. Our students are learning the extrusion process through an in-depth study of single screw extruders, the behavior of plastics within the extruder, and the extrusion equipment utilized in plastics processing.


Lambert brings extensive expertise in extrusion and instruction. We are thrilled to welcome him and to once again offer this essential extrusion training course. Don’t miss the chance to expand your knowledge and connect with industry peers. Our next course is in August. Secure your spot today!
