This paper describes the interactive multimedia injection molding tutor developed at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. The purpose of the tutor is to use visually stimulating animations in order to enable the user, a student or anyone not familiar with the process of injection molding, in understanding the relationship between part design and the ease or difficulty of producing the part. Preliminary evaluations indicate that the tutor can be successful in achieving these objectives.
