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.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
