Your 2019 Technology Purchasing Guide

A wise mold builder recently said, “Technology is how you make money. We can’t do what we do with old technology.” And it is with that in mind that I present to you  MoldMaking Technology’s 2019 Technology Review and Sourcing Guide.

This annual directory takes an accurate, comprehensive, easy-to-read and use approach to displaying data on current equipment, products and services, simplifying a mold builder’s decision-making process when evaluating technology and relevant suppliers before making the investment.

Let’s face it, this stuff is expensive, and it’s often difficult to keep up with the capital investments needed, so we want to help ease the burden a bit by equipping you with information that can quickly connect you with the technology experts.  

Our printed guide and online database offer more than 1,000 manufacturers, distributors and suppliers for more than 200 product and service categories that you employ daily. To keep this information current, MoldMaking Technology surveys and updates its supplier database every spring with the latest company contact information and product/service offerings.

This month’s Technology Review and Sourcing Guide includes a portion of that database alongside special tips, features and technology reviews published throughout the past year. The format includes key supplier profiles preceding a sourcing grid tailored to match suppliers with their respective product/service offerings (advertisers are noted in boldface type), followed by technical product and service reviews, tips and features.

The past year’s moldmaking product developments within mold engineering/design, build and maintenance/repair are organized into the following 10 sections: software, additive manufacturing, mold materials, hot runners, mold components, cutting tools, machining, EDM, inspection/measurement and mold maintenance, repair and surface treatment.

The data within this year’s condensed grids appears in its entirety online at moldmakingtechnology.com/suppliers. We encourage you to continue your search for even more of the latest in supplier and product information by visiting the various zones at moldmakingtechnology.com.
