Free training seminars at US injection moulding exhibition
The speaker line-up has been an- nounced for the Training and Devel- opment Theatre at the Injection Molding and Design Expo. The free-to-attend event runs in Detroit, Michigan, USA on May 25-26, 2022. It is being jointly organised by AMI – the publisher of Injection World – with Crain Communications – the publisher of Plastics News. The Training and Development
Theatre is hosting a series of practical seminars throughout the two days of the expo. These are covering a wide range of themes, including computer modeling, materials selection, factory safety, moulding optimisation, trouble- shooting, and business strategies. “When we first discussed the idea of a focused injection moulding event with the industry, there was widespread demand for educational content to add value for visitors,” explained Sean Manson, Senior Conference Manager at AMI. “We have worked with training companies, suppliers and consultan- cies to put together a program of seminars aimed at employees working throughout moulding operations, from design studios to factory floors to boardrooms.” The first day of the event features
presenters from three of the plastics processing industry’s leading training providers – Paulson Training Programs, RJG and the American Injection Molding Institute (AIMI). Todd Bryant, Senior Instructor and
Technical Development Director at Paulson, is examining the science behind profitable moulding and providing useful tips for boosting the bottom line. He is followed by Cory Hoeppner, TZERO Project Manager at RJG, who is discussing how to utilise technologies to accelerate tool launches. Jason Travitz, Senior Injection Molding Process Instructor at AIMI, is covering how to utilise
