IMTS 2022 Shop Talk: Why Moldmaking Matters

I was honored to be asked again to sit down as a guest on IMTS Shop Talk with AMT’s Bill Herman to discuss why moldmaking is a critical sect of manufacturing that deserves its own publication and media channel (which is set to celebrate its 25-year anniversary), share who makes up this community of mold manufacturers, how the industry has evolved since the last IMTS, what the hot moldmaking topics of the day are, which IMTS exhibitors are offering technology solutions for mold and die, and what mold builder is being featured in the MMT booth and why.

Discussion points include:

• MoldMaking Technology’s 25-year anniversary is coming up in 2023. How are you celebrating? What is the key to hitting this milestone?

• What has the industry and the MMT brand experienced since the last IMTS and what have been the impacts on the industry and MMT brand?        
• What are the most popular topics right now?
• What are you seeing here at IMTS relevant to moldmaking? What are/what should mold builders be checking out?
• Explain MMT’s presence in the Gardner Business Media booth. What is going on over there that people should stop by and see?
