But precision mold design alone isn’t enough,” says Jim Liddell, director of Business Development, Tooling for Westfall. “Success in micromolding depends on a machine that delivers absolute consistency. That’s why we trust and recommend Sodick Plustech. Their unique two-stage injection system ensures precise control over temperature, pressure, and fill volume — critical factors for achieving repeatable, high-quality results in micromolding."

Shinohara says that attendeees can experience the future of molding technology in a welcoming atmosphere that fosters meaningful connections and sparks innovative ideas. “Whether you’re looking for technical expertise, networking opportunities or just a great cup of coffee, Coffee Talk at PTXPO will deliver,” Shinohara says.
