Last December, the American Mold Builders Association sadly announced the death of Jeanette Bradley, whose service to the industry as AMBA Executive Director spanned three decades and made the AMBA the national group dedicated exclusively to moldmakers.
“A moldmaker is a toolmaker who is knowledgeable on all aspects of the moldmaking process from mold design to first shot.” That was our statement to the industry as we launched the premier issue of MoldMaking Technology magazine 10 years ago … back in 1998.
As you know, we’ve been covering additive fabrication (rapid prototyping) regularly throughout the year to keep you updated on what’s going on in that world and how it will affect you.
Attending moldmakers, designers, molders and OEMs walked the show floor and sat in on our technical conference sessions seeking better products, equipment, services and knowledge to bring back to their shops.
