PLASTICS TECHNOLOGY EXPO 2022 By MMT Staff Molds Make a Difference at the That was the sentiment of every person who visited the MoldMaking Technology booth during this year’s Plastics Technology Expo to grab their giveaway “Molds Make” t-shirt after working the aisles, seeking technology and process solutions and making new business connections. 32 MoldMaking Technology —— JUNE 2022 For the inaugural Plastics Technology Expo (PTXPO), MoldMaking Technology could not have selected a more appropriate slogan to adorn its giveaway t-shirts than “Molds Make a Di erence” to describe the importance of the mold manufacturing community. The energy and activity levels in the Moldmaking Pavilion were high, and permeated throughout the aisles of this three-day plastics event during Tech Talks, technology demonstrations and in-booth conversations. The MoldMaking Technology team was busy greeting industry friends, making new connections with technology experts, signing up new readers, identifying exhibitors to help attendees with real-world part design challenges, putting mold designer speed and knowledge to the test in a MouldMaker Card Game (courtesy of VDWF -Verband Deutscher Werkzeug-und Formenbauer e.V. and Prof. Ste en Ritter) and passing out MMT -branded mints, stickers and #MMTMoldsMake t-shirts. On top of that, the MMT Studio made its debut in the MMT booth where MoldMaking Technology editorial director Christina Fuges interviewed mold builders, molders, trade associations, education and training organizations, and technology and service suppliers. Take a look at some of these more memorable moments and what you might have missed!
