9AM – Keynote Presentation: Runner and Gating Fundamentals
KEVIN ROTTINGHAUS, BEAUMONT A runner can have a significant influence on plastic temperature and pressure distribution, crystallinity, and orientation of the material in the cavity. This presentation will dive into issues regarding specifically the impact of gating location/runner design and how they both influence the final formation your molded part.
11AM Equipment Approach of Challenging Micro Molding Applications
KOHEI SHINOHARA, PLUSTECH The true micro molding approach is critical to meet today’s most demanding “miniaturization” applications. This presentation will focus on the real-life molding challenges of micro molding, including evaluation, process development, and special techniques for utilizing a 2-stage plunger injection molding approach.
