TGIF
But before you leave work today, make sure you've firmed up your plans to attend amerimold expo next week in Novi, Michigan! Fellow moldmakers, molders, OEMs and technology suppliers are all meeting up with one thing in common: molds.
Next Wednesday at the Suburbarn Collection Showplace in Novi, Mich. amerimold expo will kick off with an Exhibit Hall full of the software, additive manufacturing, machine tools, cutting tools, materials, components, hot runners, inspection/measurement, surface treatment, and mold maintenance and repair technologies and services that today’s mold builders need to thrive in this competitive marketplace.
Knowledge Center showfloor presentations return this year with topics such as Mold Design Reimagined; Avoiding Unrealistic Expectations when Implementing Simultaneous Five-Axis; Material Properties and Welding Guidelines for Aluminum Mold Alloys; 3D Printing Offers a Giant Step for Short-Run Injection Molds; and more.
Our Engineer, Build, Maintain technical conference format is back with a program full of new topics and participants. The conference will focus on strategies to de-risk launches through part/mold simulation, additive manufacturing, conformal cooling and troubleshooting during tool validation; building a better business and workforce through technology deployment; training development and industry involvement; and putting a proactive plan in place and advancing team skills to develop maintenance and decrease repair costs.
And we can't forget our casino night networking party with that crazy photo booth, our 2014 “Top 10 Reasons to Be a Moldmaker” t-shirts and this year’s Leadtime Leader Awards, sponsored by Progressive Components. You can see full event details at amerimoldexpo.com.
