| David
Russell, with over 30 years experience in the plastics
industry, mostly related to thermoforming and including pioneering
high pressure forming in the UK, has recently been operating as a
consultant for the thermoforming sector. He represented Rapra Technology
for 3 years in the €4.8 million EU-funded T-ForM project and
was introduced to T-Sim simulation software for thermoforming.
Since then he has represented Accuform, developers of T-Sim
and B-Sim, in the UK.
David's presentation will describe the benefits of simulation software for thermoforming (T-Sim) and blow moulding (B-Sim). The software helps to optimise part design, tool design and processing conditions before a tool is cut. The 'what-if?' facility in the software lets moulders work off-line with designers to optimise designs. The presentation
will show T-Sim in action, including the latest release, which automatically
changes the shape of the plug to optimise material distribution
and cost. |
