The Fiber & Filament Extrusion Fundamentals Short Course will provide attendees a firm understanding of the critical variables and process parameters required to optimize extrusion processes for nonwovens. Key topics covered during this course include:
In addition to spunbond and meltblown nonwoven processes, this course will also consider staple fiber processes and the process for crimping and cutting fibers, highlighting the differences between filament extrusion and staple fiber extrusion.
Multi-component fiber extrusion will be considered, highlighting opportunities for creating unique fibers and properties that are not attainable in a single-component fiber.
The lab portion of the course will provide attendees time in The Nonwovens Institute's world-class Meltblown, Spunbond, Staple Nonwovens and Analytical Testing labs to enforce learnings and help demonstrate how fiber properties evolve during the extrusion process.
Who should attend?
This course is designed to be accessible and valuable to attendees who do not have prior hands-on knowledge in fiber extrusion, as well as those who have a strong foundational knowledge of extrusion fundamentals.

This product development course exploits corporate tools and methodologies, such as stage-gate, patent, and market intelligence, in executing a successful product development process from ideation to commercialization. This course integrates relationships, perspectives, and team dependencies between product design, manufacturing, purchasing, and marketing disciplines.
The hands-on portion of the course highlights the utility of the stage-gate process from ideation to commercialization. For example, it focuses on options for creating a new wipe product that is more sustainable by examining options from increasing the bio-content to creating a fully compostable product. In doing so, emphasis will be placed on how to effectively utilize the stage gate process to explore feasibility in terms of material availability, manufacturing readiness level, and costs.
The course is intended for those with a working knowledge of nonwoven products, manufacturing methods, as well as characterization methods. As such, the course is directly applicable to the R&D community, as well as to members of the business community who wish to gain insight into the product development methodology.
At the conclusion of the course, the participants should have a clear understanding of the process of product development and appreciate the decision-making process in creating and launching a new product.
