Challenging Micro Molding Applications’, along with Dr. Stefan Kruppa.  The talk is scheduled to take place Thursday, August 3rd at 9:30am, in the Precision Molding Machinery & Process Control track.  The talk will focus on the true micro molding approach and how it is critical to meet today’s demanding ‘miniaturization’ applications.  They will present real-life molding challenges of micro molding applications’ evaluation, process development steps, and unique and special techniques of processing function through the use of a two-stage plunger injection molding equipment approach.

Additionally, Plustech will be offering facility tours to see their latest equipment during the event.  Those tours will take place August 1st and 2nd.  The tour will begin at the Sodick facility (1605 N. Penny Lane, Schaumburg, IL) to showcase Sodick’s 3D printing platform, the OPM.  The OPM is designed for molds, enabling high-quality conformal cooling for many molding applications.  Sodick will go over techniques and best practices for implementing 3D technology to your facility, along with going over the latest advancements in technology to improve mold productivity.  The Sodick OPM250L 3D printer will be providing a live demonstration during the facility tour.  The next stop will be Sodic
