This episode is brought to you by ISCAR with New Ideas for Machining Intelligently.
As chair of the Mold Technologies Division of the Society of Plastics Engineers, Scott Peters leads a team of like-minded tooling design and manufacturing experts as they work to develop programs and materials focused on bringing value to the members of today as well as those of the next generation. Scott recently sat down with me to talk about everything the Division is working on. Here are a few tidbits to whet your appetite for the conversation above:
- In his words, Scott’s been “doing this a long time and still lovin’ it.”
- Community doing charity (Feed the Starving Children/E210 event) before getting to work at PTXPO 2023 (and troubleshooting the process)
- Looking at ways to re-invent the Society
- SPE MTD connects and educates while fostering relationships and rapport to move the industry forward
- Track the Apprentice Project, Taylor Bartelt with CDM Tool & Mfg
- Honoring Glenn Beall (who start in moldmaking/plastics in 1956)
- Aligning efforts with other trade associations
