Straight Talk Roundtable: Moldmakers Tackle the Issues

Description: As a result of the success of last year’s impromptu roundtable discussion on the challenges of the manufacturing process with a focus on the one "fatal flaw" that is keeping moldmakers from reaching ultimate success, we are bringing it back, but in a more formal format. A panel of speakers in a town hall setup—representing all levels of employment within both small to mid-sized mold shops (ownership, programming and machine operators) from across North America serving automotive, medical and aerospace—will offer some straight talk on mold manufacturing-specific technology and business challenges such as process management, training, competition, purchasing and leadtimes, then allowing the audience to steer the discussion in any direction they wish to make it the most productive workshop for them, covering topics that are top-of-mind for today’s mold manufacturers. A facilitator will encourage audience participation to get specific answers pertaining to their questions from these front line experts. Attendees will get out of this session what they put into this session.
