IMI2012 Review: MIMA's annual conference returns to the heartland of MIM

摘要

The choice of venue for MIMA's annual conference has for many years alternated between North America's east and west coasts. This year's event took place in the southern Californian city of San Diego and once again attracted in excess of 130 attendees. As well as offering some welcome sunshine after a long winter, the area also holds significance as the heartland of the modern commercial development of metal injection moulding during the late 1980s.An international mix of participants represented all areas of the PIM community, from part producers through to industry suppliers and researchers. Co-chaired by Bruce Dionne, Megamet Solid Metals, Inc., and Toby Tingskog, Sandvik Osprey Ltd., the conference once again proved to be an invaluable forum for networking and the exchange of industry knowledge.
