The EPMA has set the date for a two-day metal injection molding (MIM) conference located at the headquarters of Arburg GmbH in Loßburg, Germany.
The event, taking place from 27-28 October 2021, will include interactive sessions on practical problems and solutions, with discussion among participants. While suggested topics are digitisation and simulation, and sustainability, participants can also bring other practical questions to be discussed in the workshop ‘campfire meetings’, the EPMA said.
‘MIM is gaining market because of the wide range of alloys available with excellent properties, combined with reproducible tolerances, precision, surface roughness and high-quality finish, and a definite advantage in large series where tooling costs are less critical,’ a press release said. ‘But improvement needs to continue, and the challenges and opportunities must be tackled and exploited, respectively.’
The number of participants is limited to 50 and the deadline to register is 13 October. Fees are €700 for EPMA non-members and €500 for members, end-users and universities.
