"Meet the Experts"
Reaction Injection Molding


September 23, 2009

“Meet the Experts” Reaction Injection Molding Forum will include a comprehensive review of design, material selection, and tooling guidelines for RIM. We will also provide design tips from an industrial design, engineering and manufacturing standpoint. The program will also include a hands-on tour of Design Octaves featuring tooling, molding equipment and finishing processes.

All Forum participants will be treated to a superb assortment of sandwiches, salads and desserts as well as drawings for four terrific door prizes.

Who Should Attend The RIM Forum?

If you can answer ‘Yes’ to any of the following questions, come learn the benefits of Reaction Injection Molding at the Meet the Experts Design Forum on September 23, 2009.

  • Are you interested in replacing a large sheet metal enclosure with an enclosure that allows for more organic surfaces?
  • Do you require a high level of fit between mating parts and finish of surfaces?
  • Does your project have several or many internal features that would be best molded directly into the part?
  • Are you interested in updating an existing product with a new look while reducing the number of parts needed to create an enclosure?
  • Does the large size of your project make injection molding or structural foam tooling not cost effective for the quantity that you require?
  • Do you require an UL94V-0 Enclosure?
  • Does your team require engineering support in the areas of part design, draft, feature design, etc?
  • Would you like to combine part numbers and order your enclosure with mechanical and electrical components installed and ready for installation?
  • Does the large size of your project make injection molding or structural foam tooling not cost effective for the quantity that you require?

Reaction Injection Molding Presentation Overview.

We will visit the shop floor of Design Octaves and see examples of the build of tooling and reaction molding equipment in operation. The RIM demonstrations will be coupled with explanations of cost saving advantages, as well as how RIM are designed, molded and finished.


exodesign will discuss the development of a RIM part from an Industrial Design point of view. The presentation will include a review of good design practices and the reasons for selecting RIM, over other part fabrication process, as well as various tips on materials selection.


MegaRoller will provide an overview of cost, quality and schedule issues in the prototyping and manufacture cycle of a RIM part.


SMP Tech, Inc. will show a case history to illustrate the benefits of RIM from an engineering and project cost point of view.

 

After the presentations and a complimentary lunch will be served to all attendees.
