Molding the Future · Practical skills worksheet

Part weight + dimension comparison

Make the sample histories and measurement methods comparable. Attach individual readings; use the job’s specified acceptance and conditioning requirements.

Job / sample groups

Part + revision / press / mold / material + lot reference / A and B sample IDs + cavities / production windows

What was weighed?

Individual trimmed part, cavity group, or whole shot? Trimming/remnants / scale ID + displayed increment / individual results attachment

Dimension and method

Drawing characteristic + tolerance reference / location + datums / instrument + fixture IDs / inspection method revision / operator or system

History of each sample group

Molding timestamp / storage + conditioning reference / measurement timestamp / relevant environment / unknown intervals

Observed comparison

Individual weight and dimension readings in attached record / which conditions match / which differ / confirmed result versus unresolved measurement

Relevant production history

Process record references / actual measurements and locations / changes, stops, or restarts / suspected explanation kept separate

Next action / ownership

Method check or evidence request / owner + review time / retained sample locations / inspection and product status
