MOULDMAKING TECHNOLOGY DAY

Your chance to shape the future of mouldmaking

On 8 May, the GTMA, with lead partner Delcam, is hosting a Technology Day at Yamazaki Machinery, in Worcester. This event marks the official launch of emould@work, a two-year EU-funded project to develop revolutionary new software for on-line mouldmaking management. It is an important opportunity for all those involved in the industry to influence the development of the software at a very early stage and is open to GTMA members and non-members.

The agenda for the event, which starts at 10.00, has been designed to be very interactive, with plenty of opportunities for discussion. The day will include software demonstrations from Delcam, a technical overview, "Mapping the Mouldmaking Process," presented by Moores Rowland Management Solutions and will conclude with a will conclude with a presentation and tour of the Mazak plant.

Note to editors:
The GTMA, the UK's leading Trade association representing, tool making, metrology, precision machining, rapid product development and tooling technologies, is a focal point for technology transfer, as well as providing legal and business support to its members. The association has developed a series of World Class engineering standards, in addition to many EU funded projects, technology seminars and training initiatives.

emould@work, is part of the EUREKA pan-European initiative for promoting collaborative research in advanced technology. It is a major new project, with activity also taking place in Spain and Portugal, to research and develop software to provide significant time, cost and quality benefits through on-line mould-making project management, as well as automating mould design and manufacture. The aim of the project is to remove barriers between members of the supply chain and improve communication, speed up projects, reduce mistakes and improve profitability.
