Molding 2016 Announces Return to New Orleans, Emphasis on Having the Right Tools to Compete in Today's Injection Molding Market
Annual conference will include expanded technical sessions, professional networking opportunities and sponsor displays focused on injection molding business solutions
Cincinnati, OH December 03, 2015 -- Molding 2016 today announced that next years conference will take place March 29-31, 2016, at The Westin New Orleans Canal Place in New Orleans, LA.
Presented by Plastics Technology, the 26th annual Molding conference offers plastics processing professionals a forum to share best practices, new technologies and business opportunities. The events centerpiece is a technical program expanded this year to include a balance of practical applications-based content with next generation product and process innovations.
"The Molding Conference has always been a venue to discuss the latest developments in injection molding equipment and applications. This year will be no different. At the same time, were expanding the focus to include more content related to tooling, materials, auxiliary equipment, and secondary operations," explained Molding Conference Co-Chair and Plastics Technology Executive Editor, Matt Naitove.
Added Tony Deligio, Conference Co-Chair and PT Senior Editor,"New this year, Molding 2016 will offer focused breakout sessions catering to automotive and medical molders. In addition to being two of the most dynamic injection molding markets, automotive and medical offer the best canvases for exploring the balance between application and innovation."
Specific topics will include:
* Establishing/monitoring/maintaining a robust process
* Materials Developments
* Automation
* Tooling
* Materials Drying/Handling
* Additive Manufacturings role in traditional molding
The full conference program will be announced in December 2015, but the event has already procured commitments from experts at top manufacturers like Nypro, Proto Labs and Extreme Molding; leading equipment suppliers Arburg, Engel, KraussMaffei, Milacron, Wittmann Battenfeld, Novatec, Universal Dynamics, and ReThink Robotics; materials suppliers PolyOne, Covestro (formerly Bayer Material Science), Momentive Performance Materials and industry consultants Blaige & Company.
In addition to the technical program, Molding 2016 will take full advantage of one the nations leading event and tourist destinations to create networking opportunities for attendees and sponsors to share business opportunities and technology solutions.

Featured Product
FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection
The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
