Processing plastomers – advanced course
Keep up to date about thermoplastic sheet materials
Not everything which is established is still relevant. Inform yourself about new and old sheet materials and how to correctly use them.
• materials science: plastics, their different properties and intended purpose
• various padding materials and their advantages
• processing: the right usage of the chosen plastic

• manufacturing of an orthosis fashioned after Nancy Hylton
All manufactured devices may be taken home after the seminar.
Participants: max 5
Duration: 1 day
Target audience: technicians, orthopaedic engineers, CPO
Weighting: 20% Theoretical part / 80% Practical part
Course objective: Professional use of thermoplastics
Prerequisite: For this course you need the knowledge teached in the basic course.
