MMT's August IMTS Digital Edition Is Available
This month, along with an IMTS Exhibitor Product Showcase, we take a look at a variety of cutting tool, machining, inspection and measurement, advanced manufacturing and workforce development challenges and solutions.
MoldMaking Technology's August IMTS digital edition is now ready for you to view. This month we take a look at strategic operation planning and cutting tool system optimization that can make plunge roughing a productive, stable choice for high-volume material removal; review a strategy that ensures each component in the inspection value chain works together, keeping the digital thread intact from design to quality reporting; break down how a new venting valve can help overcome standard mold venting limitations and improve mold performance; explain that lightweight plastic parts production with high surface quality takes the right blend of mold technology and molding process; and, highlight an IMTS-featured mold builder, South Coast Mold, and how it combines its knowledge and technology to optimize machining capabilities.
The issue also examines two training/education and workforce development issues. One involves project-based learning and the other is part one of defining the skills gap problem.
This month also includes our IMTS Exhibitor Product showcase to give you an inside look at some of the innovation coming to Chicago next month.
