SPRA
Technical Meeting
Topic: Thermoforming:
"Simulation - a vehicle to improve design and technology"
|
|
|
|
|
|
Venue:
Room B32, Merchiston Campus, Edinburgh Napier University
Time: 6.30 for 7.00 pm
Speaker: David Russell (David
Russell Associates) |

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.
