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?
